across the bottom. Behind the bird, plowed fields, barns, trees, and low hills fade into a hazy sky. The whole piece is rendered in warm browns and reds with a gently worn border so it looks like a well-loved seed company poster.

Pair it with your Cedar Point, Champlain Shore, Penobscot River, Copper Country, and Whistlewing prints to build a full regional bird-seed wall.

Farmhouse kitchens and dining rooms
