Home for the Holidays Dec 19, 2016
A fresh blanket of snow put me in the holiday mood.
So off I went to find a worthy subject.
Four wheel drive and good snow tires are a necessity in my line of work.
If home is where the heart is, I hope yours is filled with peace and joy.

Our first winner is Pat Goodman of Towaco, NJ. Pat chose “Evening Meadow”, and had the to say…
“I look forward to a Day in Vermont. It puts me in a “state of mind” remembering those happy days of family camping, leaf peeping after visiting a daughter at Western New England College for her Birthday every year, and the visits to my sister Sharon in Dorset during Christmas. Thank You for stirring these memories with your wonderful talents.”
Our second winner is Tony Marro of Old Bennington, VT. Tony chose “Ice-Out”, and had this to say…
“Thanks much. I’ve been following a Day in Vermont since it began and think it captures perfectly all of Vermont in all seasons.”
Gosh, I love this Peter. It reminds be of the countryside where my mother was born in rural Virginia. Whoever gets it will be blessed. I wish I could but not able. Love it.
Thank you very much Robin!
Oh, how nice! Soft lilac-grey wintercolors. Frosted snow and twilight…. And you love to stay at home. Merry Christmas and a happy new year!
I do love home, thank you Doris!
Beautiful! …… With a sense and of peacefulness and joy. Thank you!
Thank you Margaret!
Peter- a beautiful winter scene. This makes me consider visiting my sister and brother in law in Dorset this winter. Your paintings have been a wonderful addition to our Florida home. Merry Christmas and a happy new year!
Thank you Dave, I’ll look forward to seeing you guys when you visit again!
This is beautiful! the muted colors are not your usual palette, but I love this one. Makes me think of Frost’s “Stopping by the Woods on a Snowy Evening”. Happy Holidays to you!
Thanks very much Karen! I have been playing with some (very) muted compositions. You may see some more in 2017. 🙂
I love this too, the feeling you get looking at it, the colors, the angles, etc…
Merry Christmas & Happy New Year Peter!
Thank you Susan!

Hi Peter, Home for the Holidays is wonderful. I would love it if you did note cards or Christmas cards.
This one would be my choice!
Merry Christmas!
I do note cards Linda. Thanks! Right here… https://www.peterhuntoon.com/shop/home-for-the-holidays/
When the snow is falling values and contrasts are diminished, but a richness remains. Delicate color enhances the grays, and a sense of peace and stillness descends. A soft glow of warm light from distant windows welcomes each of us home, even if only possible in our minds and hearts. Merry Christmas, Peter. So glad I got to meet you this past summer in Waitsfield. I’ll try to send a little warm Florida sunshine your way!
Hi Brian, for me your comments are highlights. I’m waiting for them. And so I wish you a merry Christmas and a happy new year from a distant grey Duisburg in Germany. Doris
Thank you, Doris, for your kind words. Merry Christmas, and God bless!
I can’t top Doris’ comments this week Brian…thanks to you both! 🙂
2017 brings retirement to my boyhood home, the lovely Cotswold Hills of Oxfordshire, England. The nearest place on earth I know that compares to the beauty that is our Vermont home. I’ve placed a bid on the “Home for the Holidays” painting, Peter. It will take pride of place in my Cotswold home if my acquisition succeeds. A fond reminder of the many wonderful years I have spent here in Vermont.
Thank you Thomas, I have heard of many great artists being attracted to that area. It looks wonderful and maybe I will visit one day. Sorry you did not “win” this one, but hopefully there will be another that you will fall in love with.
Beautiful painting ; perfect Christmas gift .
Thanks Patricia!
Beautiful painting Peter captures the essence of winter perfectly

Now I wish all of us in our fine community a peaceful season. I’m so glad to be here and I hope we’ll have a new year full of fine art and positive energy without disgusting events. Let’s pray for it. Doris
Amen Doris!
WOW!!!! What a great way to end the year, Peter. Congratulations on all your auction sales. THANK YOU for sharing your wonderful art with all of us along with your beautiful heart & soul. You deserve every benefit that you reap 🙂 Merry Christmas and continuous success in the New Year!
Thanks so much Mary Fran, much appreciated. As a fellow artist, you know very well the real work it takes to consistently produce your best work.
Beautiful. Makes me homesick for the big snowstorms, the winter white of early youth! Thank you for sharing your gift with all of us.
Thank you Ginny!
Peter, your painting reminds me of a vintage sepia photograph, in its coloring and its perspective. Thank you once again for sharing your heart and eye.
Your pictures make feel that I am back in Vermont. Thank you so much.
