---------------------------

Dr. Pierce's accordion skills were much better than the cure-alls he sold, but he would never admit it.

---------------------------

Artist's Notes: I'm not sure if you remember Mrs. Foxtrot: [link] - but this is sort of a continuation on that little story. ;)

The wheat field and "Dr. Pierce's" barn are photos I recently took in Waterville, Washington. The barn really is painted like that. It always reminds me of the old-timey snakeoil salesmen that would prey on unsuspecting farm folk, and get them to buy useless ointments and such. *My* Dr. Pierce at least gives them a jaunty tune to go along with it. ;)

Really nice. I like the vintage feel, and the choice to use a more sepia tone rather then B&W is excellent. The one thing I'm not sure about is the writing on the barn. It just seems to clear. My eyes are drawn to it a little to much. Still, it's a fantastic piece. :peace:

It reminds me so much of the kind of books I used to read as a child where animals took on personalities of their own - absolutely enchanting, many thanks for the trip down memory lane!
