The Weathervane Painting

I finished the 'Weathervane' painting.
When D was a youngster,
someone told him that
the word NEWS came from weathervane.
He's been carrying that bit of information
all this time and recently shared it with me.
The North, East, West, South spells NEWS.
I hadn't realized when I took the photo of the
weathervane that the letters indicating
north, east, west and south just by chance
were arranged to spell the word news.
You can see it a bit more clearly in my drawing.

We now know, thanks to quiltcat,
that he's been remembering an
urban legend! Oh well, it's still a nice thought!
