Old milk cans are a thing of the past and I wonder how many people recognize this silhouette.


Old milk cans used to be present everywhere and all of Americana woke up every morning to the milk being delivered to their door. These milk cans were the bulk transportation of the day. I thought it appropriate to have a scene that could be viewed as either a sunset or a sunrise depending on the subject matter.
