Friend! In all the 43 years I've lived in this strange, but beautiful, backward yet sublime, trafficless unless you count the deer, Elk, lions, bears, hawks, crows, squirrels, porcupines, snakes (on occasion), orioles, tanagers, grossbeaks, western king birds, chickadees, herons, eagles, geese, and so many other fascinating creaturesm an old farmhouse and outbuildings down the road has called my attention. As far as composition (never have a fence between you and the subject unless there is an opening; don't put the center of attention smack in the center; etc.) goes, I've broken some rules...not surprising if you know me. And, yes, much of this is made up except probably the old codger struggling with what may be a corral fence, off balance, wrapped up in the old Aspen trunks, but 'getting after it' even though he's not getting very far. And, yes, I'm pretty sure that was me thinking on the previous decades before I painted this some 20 years ago. It always catches me by surprise and I really like, as if someone else had painted it! I only put it on my website 2 years ago and it has 1552 views as of today. I hope you enjoy it. What, who, why, where do you see in this??? I'd love to know! Enjoy! π
