No. 13. From the “Country Roads” Collection
Previous posts on this blog featured pictures from the Country Roads: An Uncommon Take series including Nos. 3 and 11 in 2018 and Nos. 36, 44, and 50 in 2017. I posted an earlier version of “Broken Windows” in No. 50. The current version posted here is the final one as it was exhibited in March at Art Plus Gallery in West Reading, PA. “Tarred Awt” is a wordplay on the colloquial pronunciation of “tired out.” Those unfamiliar with local renditions of English in Pennsylvania Dutch country may not get this, and even those who are familiar with the accent sometimes need to hear it pronounced rather than in print to understand.
