You got Mail

I have wanted to paint this for some time. Just an old mail box showing a couple of letters. This is truly becoming an obsolete item in our life and it is so wrong to lose it. But so it is. The milk bucket under the mailbox was something farmers used all the time.

I have tried to make this a little more painterly by not blending every color into one another. that way color blends in your eyes as in real life. I will take some more pictures of this to show later with more detail.

The fun of this is the way I had to compose it. I could have tinted the back ground but I want the mailbox to stand out on its own.

Keep your mailbox open and your brushes wet.
