Old Buggy and Winter Birds by Robert Bateman

  

"This is a Mennonite buggy  parked in front of a drive shed. The large, black rectangle reminded me of the empty, dark spaces in some of the abstracts of Mark Rothko. The grain on the ground has provided food for the cardinals, juncos and song sparrows." - R Bateman

 

A gentle reminder of simpler ways and quieter times, this Renaissance Edition is charming in its utter simplicity. Almost abstract in its design, the monochromatic color scheme of a black Mennonite buggy in the winter is enlivened by bright touches of color in the plumage of cardinals and other birds.
