Cornwall Church May 23, 2013
The First Congregational of Cornwall was built in 1803.
It’s a classic New England style white clapboard church along route 30 in Addison County, just south of Middlebury.
The understated architectural elements echo with a history that begged to be painted.

Open Studio Weekend
Please consider a visit to my studio and gallery on Saturday or Sunday for Open Studio Weekend. Look for the yellow signs. I would love to give you a tour and I’ll be demonstrating off and on throughout the weekend. Just down the road is Rising Meadow Pottery. My good friends Diane Rosenmiller and Nicholas Seidner would be happy to see you too. And if we aren’t enough to get you to Middletown this weekend, Sissy’s Kitchen and Grant’s Store are. Lunch at Sissy’s and a creemee at Grant’s sounds like a mighty good plan to me!
What a a treat to be able to view your work weekly, and to learn how you plan and execute these beautiful watercolor paintings. You are an inspiration to the frustrated artist! Thank you!
Thanks very much Dianne, I’m glad you are enjoying A Day in Vermont. Believe it or not, frustration visits my studio too. The best antidote I have found so far is old fashioned stubbornness to push through it.
Beautiful picture once again! Thanks Peter! Sure will miss seeing you this weekend. Hope you have a terrific turnout!
Thanks Michelle, maybe next year. I just finished hanging my last painting so I am all ready. Well, after I clean up my studio. Have a great weekend in TL!
Peter, Bravo! What a thrilling accomplishment to be creating your art full time and fulfilling your dream. Your email updates with new paintings and their stories is ingenious! As we have a Poet Laureat, you deserve to be Vermont’s Painter Laureat! Looking forward to seeing you this summer!
Thank you for the kind words Jill. I don’t know about painter laureate, but I am indeed thrilled and grateful to be able to create and share my art full time. Like Winslow Homer said when he moved to Prouts Neck Maine; “The sun shall not rise or set without my notice, and thanks.”
