Pile of Rubbish near Field

After I painted the Chair in a Field of Yellow Buttercups, the chair was moved around and finally fell out of sight for quite some time, probably tossed into the tree line along the fence. Today I rode past and saw this pile of rubbish that seemed tempting to paint, but then again I was looking for blossoming trees or another spring-themes scene. I noticed that the very chair I painted in the field of buttercups was busted up and cast upon the pile of sticks, shovels, tires and other garbage probably put there due to city cleanup. You can see the chair legs pointing up, and the upholstered seating surface on top of the pile. The spring elements include a greenish grass colour and leaf buds on the background trees. I used the red hydrant and shovel handle to break up the green, brown and grey colour scheme.
