The Mailman Always Brings Treats

Finished!  

I got stuck on this one at one point and put it up for my critique group to look at.  I thought it needed some vultures and I got some great ideas from the group about the birds on the wire, too.  In the end, I did both because when I covered up either set on the transparency I tried it out on first, I missed it.   Plus, I regularly see that many birds hanging out all over the place here, so it felt natural.

It's at the framer now getting all dressed up for the Big Show in August and September.

Rusty Mailboxes

We get so excited when a mailbox out here lasts long enough to rust.  Usually they fall prey to the rural sport of mailbox bashing.  [Late night drive-by, hanging out the truck window with a baseball bat.  So mature.]

Our mailbox currently has a fashionably rusty top. Since Martha Stewart doesn't live here, we're going to leave it to do its job until it starts leaking.

And so it makes a great subject for a painting.   Another one coming up soon.
