BRIGHT SPOT IN THE BLIZZARD

Painting completed in: 1992

This barn, between Groesbeck and Mart, Texas, stopped me in my tracks as I was traveling to an Art Show. I can't explain why but I got a mental picture of it in a snow storm and thought it needed the Cardinal on the fence post to brighten it up! "When the snow is falling and all is silent The sky is cold gray and colors are muted A Cardinal lights with a flash of bright red It's no surprise that he's a sign of good luck!"
