This painting is a fun rural scene that reference's games that have been played in and near some grain elevators in the past. On the sides of the painting I painted red & white squares, like a checker board.
Since my Dad lived in a train station, near grain elevators, over the years he shared happy and sad stories about hanging out with elevator agents, railway staff and farmers. This painting is a small reflection of some of the fun stories I have heard over the years.
