On my way to get my bones scanned yesterday (all fine btw) I passed this amazing piece of art work by the young farmers of the neighborhood and thought I share them with you for a bit of fun for feathered Friday.
I unleashed my creative abstract juices on these representations of cartoon characters from a computer game called Angry Birds purely for your entertainment. What has this got to do with bird photography? Err! Nothing at all. 😂 It's Art!
Every year at hay baling time the young farmers create an art piece for the people passing on the road to admire and wonder at. This year it's the Angry birds.
Angry Birds
I had to stop the car and get out and take a wander around this piece of rural art and I must say it is well made and beautifully painted.
Whoever created it, had a flair for these little cartoon terrors. I never did play the game itself but I taught many students how to recreate the game themselves using MIT's Scratch program. It's a good program for teaching basic concepts before their intro to Python. But I digress.
It is amazing what you can create with a little bit of hay and a few cans of paint.
Hay Hay?
Hay, we all need a bit of fun now and again...hey?
A Young farmer?
As I pulled out of this art installation because that is what it is in reality. I saw this farm vehicle and wondered if the driver was the artist of this fun piece of hay art? We may never know? It's like a rural #Banksy the unknown graffiti artist.
This art work below was the last piece of #haybaleart that I shared almost 2 years ago...holy smoke!
I didn't even know that hay bale art was even a 'thing' back then? I have learned a lot in the last 2 years. 😂
I hope that this post put a little smile on your face and that you have a lovely weekend ahead.
