Depot Hill Bridge Oct 3, 2013

Depot Hill Bridge is one of four covered bridges in Pittsford.

Before there was a bridge here a young traveler was trying to cross Otter Creek.

He yelled across to the farmer; “How do I get to the other side?”

The old Vermonter paused for a moment, then hollered back; “You are on the other side.”

    Your paintings keep me inspired. The video was terrific, helped me get over missing your workshop this summer.

      Thanks Carol, I do look forward to a workshop sometime. Stop by Open Studio this weekend and I’ll show you around.

    Another wonderful painting, Peter. Every new painting is such a joy. Will be over to see you & Mareva for “Open Studio”. Another great opportunity to see amazing artists at work. I encourage everyone to visit!

    Really wonderful video and amazing painting. Love it. And it couldn’t have been a more perfect day with the soft color on the trees and the train whistling in the background… Thanks so much for sharing Peter!

  • Sandi Reiber says:

    It was wonderful to watch your painting come alive. Thank you for capturing the beauty of our Vermont – I have to forward this to my grandchildren!

  • Kate says:

    Loved the video – your painting is more beautiful then the actual landscape – love the colors you used – keep on painting!

    • Peter Huntoon says:

      Thank you Kate, glad you enjoyed the video. Each painting is a new opportunity to dance with color and shapes. I’ll keep on painting for sure!

  • Muriel Brown says:

    Just delightful! We wanted to let you know that because of you we are taking a drawing class at the Community College in Rutland. Your tour of your studio with my friend, Arleen,so inspired me. Have a wonderful day. Muriel Brown

    • Peter Huntoon says:

      That is great Muriel. Art can enrich our lives in many ways. Beyond a certain age (for some reason) to pick up a pencil and start drawing takes a lot of courage. You will be rewarded for your efforts.

  • Larry Sharon says:

    Great job Pete, has been amazing to watch you grow over these many years, looking forward to see where you go next

    • Peter Huntoon says:

      Thanks Larry for your comment, and your friendship over those many years. Since I didn’t have enough natural talent in ping pong I decided to pursue art instead. It all worked out!

  • Brian Dugan says:

    Amazing painting and video this week. Thanks for sending the link, don’t know what happened to my e-mail. I appreciate the reference to Reno NV. Seeing the fall colors in the backround gave me my taste of Vermont in the fall. I needed that.

  • Ron Wall says:

    I really enjoyed this – didn’t know there was a video until reading comments from my friends after I posted a comment on my timeline letting them know this is the bridge I have been running through for the past 15 years. Then I viewed the video and saw myself running past you and saying good morning.

    • Peter Huntoon says:

      Ha, that is great! It’s a small, wonderful world. Thanks Ron, and hope to see you again out there both doing our thing.

  • Ron Wall says:

    BTW, my wife wants you to know that we have a number of your pictures hanging on our condo walls, as well as friends of our’s.
