This sweet little scene was right outside the cabin I stayed in while in Fairfield. Loving the cheerful birdhouses and festive pumpkins, it caught my attention first thing in the morning. It took me a couple of days to get to it, but I finally caught it in the perfect light! I painted the whole thing while catching up with my youngest daughter on the phone, sitting at the picnic table outside the front door. I love the sounds of the woods, birdsong and squirrels chatting all around me. The leaves are already falling, and heavy nuts are dropping on roof and ground, adding a little drumbeat to the song. Life is sweet, indeed. Painting number 3185 in 3185 days.
