Snow Bound Jan 18, 2016

I’m happy to see some snow.

Here in Vermont most of us can find something we like about winter.

At least until March.

I love to hunker down in my studio during a snowstorm.

Temporarily stranded, I’m filled with gratitude and appreciation.

That’s a very good place to paint from.

    One of my favorites.

  • Martha Baker says:

    Without the mountains in the background, this could be most any state, including my childhood surroundings in north central Missouri. I love it!

  • Mary says:

    A picture perfect of a country winter scene! Love it Thank you Peter!

  • Dianne says:

    Lovely – you’ve captured the season so clearly. Hunkering down is a wonderful way to spend days in Vermont.

  • Stefani says:

    this is lovely….and I’d like it even more if it were my home pictured in the background of a snow covered hillside. 🙂

    • Peter Huntoon says:

      Thank you Stefani. I don’t know who’s home this is, I was a long way away with a long camera lens. Chances are they won’t see this painting. I kind of like leaving it a mystery.

  • Marcia Barron says:

    Peter, your words are always as beautiful as your paintings. With gratitude and appreciation….

  • David Churchill says:

    I love the first snow, after that, not so much.

  • Brian Blaine says:

    Over the years I have stood many times in a similar winter field. Sometimes my only company was the sound of rattling cornstalks and the wind. Other times a flock of birds, or a patch of snow fleas were with me. A successful painting evokes memories and a sense of spirit. You have succeeded in this beautiful work of art

  • Janet Greenwwod says:

    So very beautiful and peaceful making it look like a place of comfort and solitude. Love it!

  • Denise says:

    I absolutely love all your paintings… If I was able I would have one of each of them
    Have a great warm day.

  • Kirsten says:

    This looks very similar to the view from the cornfield behind my parents’ house…

  • Diane says:

    Love this nice & cozy Vermont winter scene! Glad VT is finally getting some snow, send some north to the Arctic. Our snow has been minimal for the last two seasons. 🙁

  • Tony Marro says:

    Very, very nice.

  • Betsy lenora says:

    My favorite subject – winter scenes. I don’t know what the attraction is as I’m not fond of the cold. Better to be in VT than the city, tho! This is one of my favorites of yours, Peter. I am going to order this print once I’m stabilized in my new apt. It will look wonderful against my lavender walls.

  • Victoria says:

    Peter, this is hauntingly beautiful – strong and serene. I love “Monday Art with Peter!”
    Thank you!

    • Peter Huntoon says:

      I think I summoned the spirit of Andrew Wyeth just a bit on this one…he was certainly a master of raw, stark, nature.

  • Jean Krajewski says:

    Love this one best of all so far! Moved from snowy Vermont to sunny Florida, and I really miss those beautiful winters and tranquil snow scenes! Thank you!

  • Ralph and Ann Zaionz says:

    We love the way you love Vermont! We made reservations today to visit Vermont in September on Lake Dunmore. We can’t wait. It’s been 4 years since we were up from New York.

    • Peter Huntoon says:

      Dunmore is not far from my studio, less than an hour. I hope you will come visit me when you are here. I’ll look forward to meeting you!

  • cynthia adams says:

    Nice open land scene…the evidence/pattern of the past season in the field is interesting. Even the sky is “cold”. We got a good cover today, white out @ times. Cindy

    • Peter Huntoon says:

      The corn rows cresting over the hill really grabbed my attention in this scene. The white snow made the golden stalks pop. Thanks Cindy!

  • Peter, I just love your work. Love your marks and the simplicity of many of your paintings.
    Vermont is one of my favorite places to be, and I really appreciate you sharing so much of the love you feel for your state in your paintings. Thank you

  • Suzette Draheim says:

    This looks like a picture of my grandparents house in Craftsbury…so many good memories!

    • Peter Huntoon says:

      Although this one is not in Craftsbury Suzette, I’ll put that on my list…I love to discover new places and subjects, and make new (good) memories.
