The Old Farmstead Jul 18, 2022
I started this large painting in May on location at Miller Hill Farm in Sudbury. What first got my attention was the field of flowers. As as explored the property further I quickly decided the series of buildings and barns would be the main subject.
There’s a timeless authenticity, charm, and character to be found in Vermont’s old farmsteads. Often built over several generations, the rugged structures have shifted and settled into the earth itself. Here, I envisioned the buildings gradually unfolding into the distance, like the present unfolds and merges into the past.

One of your best Peter.
Love this one! Too bad I can’t afford you any more, but I still like the 2 that I have!
Your description of unfolding buildings like Christmas presents was a lovely word description.Like you, I enjoy how these old houses settle into the earth at their own pace. Then they blend into the countryside around them. It’s a comfortable arrangement for us and Mother Nature. Thank you, as always, for the eye candy Mr. Peter.
Exceptional work! Someone has truly purchased a treasure from you today!
I LOVE the barns of Vermont, one of my favorites. Because of that I agree the barns were the main focus and realize why I love thus painting so much
You are so talented!!!!
I love the sky in the scene you were painting but it would have detracted from your painting…..perhaps. Thanks for your journey.
You are getting better every time .. This one is perfect.
