Description
An old wooden two-wheeled cart sits forlornly in an overgrown wheat field. Its wood is rotting and its iron rusting. Pine covered hills rise in the hazy distance as clouds build in the late afternoon. It's late summer and the grass has turned brown. Like the abandoned cart, so too has the field been forgotten and the grain never harvested.
Just outside of my office there is a small bakery/cafe. A couple of times a week, when I don't immediately feel the need to get into work, I drop by for a coffee and a few minutes of reading. The place is decorated with a variety of bread themed art. Among them is a number of reproductions of European agrarian paintings. Looking at those inspired me to put this artwork together. Though not particularly complex, this image did give me an opportunity to experiment with some old weathered looking wood textures.
Thanks for looking!
