An artists' lot is to seek inspiration, but certainly not to wait for inspiration to begin to paint.  Arriving again at the Spring Arbor farm site I was looking for a strong composition. Struggling to come up with an exciting composition I zeroed in on the seemingly abandoned snowplow truck. Imagining this farm in the cold and snow of winter, coupled with the decaying fences and abandoned barn I began again to paint the poetry that is associated with the nobility of the family farm.
