I thought you might like this – I took it this morning whilst basking in a rare ray of November sunshine. It might even bring a smile to your members. I call it ‘Bird Spirit’, but it is such a happy accident that the nail was hammered in at just the right place and the smear of putty round the hole just accentuates the rusting nail head. It’s an old potting shed in the back yard. I better take my medication now..
You can also see some of Russ’ wonderful lettering and painting work at
Ford Craftsman Studios, one of my favorite retailers of home decoration. There are also a few very nice bits of free period artwork in editable vector forms on Russ’ own site.
