This is a view looking down New Sweden Church Road, near Manor, Texas. We parked near the church, intending to paint it, but this is what caught my eye. It was cold and windy, and hardly any traffic passed by, except for some giant farm equipment I couldn't identify. (In the afternoon I did paint the church, looking back up the road--it'll be in the next post.)
The two dots in the sky are gnats that got blown into the paint--after it dried, I brushed them away. The swallows nesting in the porch of the church might have eaten them anyway, had they lived, but I'm sure they never intended to sacrifice their lives for art.
