Description
County Birds reflects the quietness of rural life in Aroostook County. This original 5×5 Aroostook River Illustration captures stillness, simplicity, and a deep sense of place rooted in northern Maine.
Two small birds appear within the scene, each formed from handpicked river glass. A warm brown bird rests atop a wooden barrel. A dark green river glass bird stands on an Aroostook River pebble below. Both pieces of glass and the supporting pebble were collected from the Aroostook River in Caribou, Maine. Their natural shapes and softened surfaces bring gentle life and balance to the composition.
In the distance, a small weathered building sits along East Presque Isle Road in Caribou. It anchors the scene in a familiar local landscape. Ink, watercolor, and gouache details shape the land, barrel, and structure. The drawn elements and river glass work together in a grounded composition.
The artwork comes matted and framed in a 10×10 wood frame with a protective glass panel. The visible mat opening measures 8×8. The original artwork measures 5×5. The frame works well on a wall or flat surface. It arrives ready to enjoy or gift.
This piece works beautifully as year-round décor. It makes a thoughtful gift for those who appreciate rural Maine imagery, potato farming, meaningful materials, and one-of-a-kind handmade art.
