30~ Mural 2012: Glenn's Coyote

On Halloween, I still had time for a finishing touch or two on the mural. It had been a running joke that we ought to add a little coyote somewhere, lurking in the bushes. One of our local farmers, Glenn, a member of the church congregation, is tasked with protecting the chickens and newborn calves from predators. The coyotes (introduced into our woods only a decade or so ago) are his bane. I had mentioned maybe putting an old-timey plow on the hill behind the barn. We decided a coyote would work just as well, so we put one, just to tickle the old guy when he discovered it. It's a tiny critter, just about an inch long; but if you get up close, you can see him grinning.
