Bird Box Painting

This year 2018, I enjoyed Thanksgiving with Mrs. Smith and her daughter Karen A Smith at her home. Great home styled cooking and all the fixings. After we relaxed for a time and the cleanup was completed, Karen asked to take a ride to Tyler State Park in Newtown, Pa. It was a beautiful afternoon and a fantastic idea. The roads were clear on the way to the park and when we arrived it was practically empty. Good time to take a slow ride and enjoy the wildlife. As we entered the backside of the park we immediately encountered as series of the roadside "Bird Boxes" I was struck by this one because at first looked it appeared to be the letter "F" like the first letter in my last name. In reality it is a "7". I loved the seasoned weathered look of the box attached to the metal pole. Karen asked if I would like some photos of the box. When she looked at the photos at home she decided this was the best composition and I agreed. Karen and I do many collaborative projects together. I tried adding some new colors to my palette to enhance this Original Oil Painting. I hope you enjoy the result!
