Welcome to A Day in Vermont!

A Day in Vermont is a love story. Through the mysterious powers of art and the Internet we are sharing a creative adventure celebrating the beauty of Vermont one painting at a time.

Every other Monday morning at 10:30EST I post a new original painting featuring a Vermont location or theme. The original is available for sale and can be purchased directly via the simple check-out system. There is only one original. Prints are also usually available.

A Day in Vermont Newsletter is sent to over 10,000 subscribers. The timing of those emails arriving to your personal inbox can vary widley. If you are very interested in purchasing an orginal piece, please consider jumping on my website at 10:30 or soon after, as paintings often sell quickly.

"Vermont Artist Peter Huntoon has created A Day In Vermont, a “free and friendly email love-letter.” Every Monday morning a beautiful painting by Peter arrives in your inbox. Along with personal comments, you can observe his process with photographs, sketches and then view the final product. Peter’s work is stunning and evokes Vermont through and through. I love Peter’s work and his new email project. I think you will too. Check it out!

Each painting post includes a community forum. I'll share a little bit about the art, subject, or process. Your comments and questions are welcome.
