The barn is weird and doesn't seem to fit right. I think it needs to be re-done. I absolutely love the rest of it.

Really nice drawing, I like the choice of colours too. One point, and only because I'm a pedant, you wouldn't ever really see a barn like that in England. Sorry, I just can't help myself sometimes.
