Horse Pasture Sep 3, 2018
Can you believe it’s September already?
I wonder what it would be like if we didn’t bother to keep track.
No deadlines to worry about or appointments to keep.
Other animals seem to get along just fine without a datebook or Google calendar.
They depend on good old-fashioned horse sense.

Painting Demonstration
You are invited to join me at the Sparkle Barn in Wallingford, Vermont on Thursday, September 20 from 6:30 to 8:30PM.
I’ll be doing a live painting demonstration upstairs in their beautiful barn. It will be fun to share my process and the artistic experience with you in this wonderful setting. The event is free and open to all.
Who knows, if the finished piece comes out well it could wind up right here on A Day in Vermont.

I love this painting. My dad farmed with horses in North Dakota, this was before I was born, the older children in the family remember, but I have always had a place in my heart for them. This is beautiful. I wish I could make it to Vermont for the painting demonstration.
Thanks Karen!

Thanks Lenor!

Thanks Lise!
Love your intro re “good ol’ horse sense”! I especially like the “steps” of the barns, and the cupola. Horses are pretty and they’re swishing the flies away ! Thank you for a nice Labor Day greeting.
Thanks Cynthia!
Horses and Vermont just go together. By the way, Peter, I’m a New England resident again. Loved Nevada but it’s good to be home!
Welcome home Brian!
I enjoy seeing scenes like this. We were in Vermont, last Oct. very close to Wallingford and loved seeing Vermont’s red barns.
Thanks Maureen!
I so wish I could be there at Sparkle Barn, sounds lovely. 5 more years to retirement. So happy to be able to come to VT twice a year. We are enjoying the prints we purchased when we were there in April and are looking forward to December! In the meanwhile, happy Fall (here in Central NY, were in the 90’s)
Thanks Debbie and Andy!
I love this print! Horses are my favorite animal and Vermont country side my favorite place.
Thanks Sylvia!
Love it, this is so all American in my mind. How blessed we are to celebrate Labor Day and have beautiful, tranquil beauty like this all around us. Thank you so much Peter for inspiring us to take a minute and see beauty all around us.
Thanks Beth!
What a beautiful painting! Reminds me of the horses down the road from me. Love it
Thanks Charlette!
