“Oooh… I love this intersection!”
You probably don’t say that very often.
Unless you live in Vermont, you’re an artist, or both.
The dramatic crossroad at Rt 30 and 73 never disappoints.

Bold Strokes
The start of the year is a good time to review the master plan.
Mine continues to come into clear focus…
Follow my heart. Paint Vermont. Share it with you.
Simple.
Yet, I have unfinished business.
As you may know, I stopped taking on any new private commission projects as of March 2019.
A difficult but necessary decision in order to truly “follow my heart.”
Well, I still have 21 private paintings left to complete.
Optimistic and productive as I am, they are just not getting done “on the side”.
It’s time to clear the deck, roll up my sleeves, and give them the attention they deserve.
If I have to be sequestered in the studio, this is the time of year to do it.
So, “A Day in Vermont” will be on temporary hiatus for the next two months.
I will return by Monday, March 23.
If the Muse smiles approvingly on my dedicated and earnest efforts, you’ll see me back sooner.
Thank you very much for your continued support and understanding.
Warmest regards,
Peter
Love the clouds… happy painting…
Thanks Deanie!
Beautiful painting. I will look forward to your return on Mondays in March.
Thanks Karen!
Understandable. You will be missed during that time.
Thanks Melodie!
Sudbury sky presents another beautiful chilly day in Vermont! Thank you!
Your beautiful art and thoughtful reflections will be missed as you follow your heart in completing other work.(If you should decide to surprise us in February with a break in your commission work, we will be thrilled)
Happy painting!
Thanks Margaret!
Such a good way to clear the path for more creative ventures. Sometimes unfinished works can be additional weight that’s just not needed on the journey. May this be an inspirational and productive time for you.
Thanks Martha!
Only you can make these grey days beautiful. Await your return…
Thanks Barbara!
“Oooh… I love the sky!!!” Another beauty. As you may remember, I have a ‘thing’ for winter landscapes. Will ponder this one….
Thanks Betsy!
You will be missed! Your email is always the high point of my Mondays.
Thanks Kathy!
This is another beautiful picture, can’t wait to see what March will bring to all of us. Good luck on finishing your commissions, I am sure they will be stunning.
Thanks Cecelia!
Happy painting….
Thanks Dawn!
Such a beautiful painting Charles. I drive that road often and I can see it in your painting see you soon Arriba enjoy your time
Thanks Craig!
It is always fascinating to see your interpretations, compared with a photo taken on location. You breathe life into your work! Good luck with the commissions. That is a pretty awesome distraction. I am happy for you that you can take another step into “what your heart desires.” If not now, when? See you in March.
Thanks Christine!
Such beautiful work! I look forward to seeing more in the near future and appreciate your need to complete your commissions! I was born in Vermont and love the countryside!
Thanks Dodi!
Peter! Having lived just over the hill from this corner for nearly 30 years it is poignantly familiar. What a wonderful job you’ve done bringing the colors to life! Congratulations on your talent and success! Hugs to you from Santa Fe! Liza
Thanks Liza, all the best and hugs from Vermont!
Peter, It looks like you are viewing this scene right from the bottom of our driveway. We are the house at the top of the knoll, that cannot be seen from route 30. Lovely.
Thanks Christina, nice spot you have there!
Enjoy yourself and know we, your fans, will be here when you are ready!
Thanks Beth!
Hi Peter, well it’s necessary to finish the work. Surely it will be fine and all will be satisfied. Good luck!
Thanks Doris!
As children headed to “Memere and Pepere’s” house in Whiting, we turned right up at the house on the corner. This was over 60 years ago and I remember this scene so clearly. Good one Peter. Happy painting and I look forward to seeing you back in March.
Thanks Jeanne!
Monday mornings will be a bit empty for the time being, but isn’t it wonderful to be on the opposite end of the spectrum from “starving artist” God bless and we’ll see you in a couple months. I’m sure those who await those commissions will be delighted to soon have them in hand..
Thanks Brian!
Take the time, enjoy your painting. We’ll wait patiently ’till you return. Always enjoy your work.
Thanks Laura!
Dear Peter
I so enjoy your newsletter. I understand, you need to finish unfinished business. Looking forward to your return. My best always,
Linda
Thanks Linda!
This is a painting of my family farm. Which we still own the house. We would love to get a couple of prints of this painting if you ever do those!
Thanks Olivia, here is a link where you can order prints: https://www.peterhuntoon.com/shop/sudbury-sky/
Will look forward to Spring even more now , to see your latest creativity. Cynthia
Thanks Cynthia!
Enjoy the hiatus. I look forward to your return in the Spring.
Thanks Brian!
We will miss your Monday e-mails. Hurry back.
Thanks Ken!
Peter, we have passed through this intersection so very many times going back and fourth to Castleton.
As usual you have caught it’s beauty on canvas. I will surely miss my Monday morning emails, however you need to take of yourself first and foremost. Be well !
Thanks Chris!
This is a perfect painting. Thank you for getting it so right.
Wishing you a warm, healthy, and productive winter.
Thanks Anita!
This brings back very fond memories. I worked on that farm in the ’60’s. It was owned by Leo Desforges and passed on to his sons. I gradutated from high school with the youngest of the family. Great people, great experience.
Thanks Chuck!
