While traveling one day on a back road near the Pennsylvania – New York border, I noticed a bunch of old rusted barbed wire rolled up next to a fence post in a field. The configuration of it caught my eye and I wandered into the field to take a closer look. The fence line had never been completed and it was obvious that the wire had been left to rust there for many years. I began to contemplate the many reasons why this job had been left unfinished. Ultimately I decided to display a male and female Gold Finch in the painting because, unlike most other birds, they nest in the fall. This means that, in this picture, the Gold Finches, like the farmer, still have unfinished business.
