Texas Falls Sep 15, 2014

Texas Falls in Hancock is a magnificent example of natural beauty.

Any artist can be humbled in her presence.

I brought my gear to paint right there on location, aka “Plein Air”.

But this scene could only be captured from the high narrow bridge.

That’s when an artist with a mild fear of heights settles for a quick photo.

And paints back at the studio on solid ground.

If you don’t have a subscription to Vermont Magazine, I hope you will pick up the new Fall issue just arriving on news stands now.

Inside you will find a four page sparkling feature article about our very own A Day in Vermont.

The piece was written by fellow Vermonter Anthony Marro. Tony started at the Rutland Herald, was a long time reporter and editor for Newsday, Newsweek and the New York Times, and recently co-authored a book about Vermont in the ’60s: “Philip Hoff: How Red Turned Blue in the Green Mountain State”.

Enjoy!

      And half the fun for me is discovering new places to paint each week. I try to get out a couple times each week and just head off in a direction. Sometimes with a destination in mind, but often not. The one thing I do know is that I’ll never run out of subjects here in Vermont. Thank you Joanne!

    Such a calming picture. Have to look for the September issue of Vermont Life to read the article on you. You are even more famous!

    • Peter Huntoon says:

      Hope to can find a copy down there in Ga. David. I don’t know about famous. My pup seems to accept both my successes and failures with equal enthusiasm. Good dog!

    Congratulations, Peter! And thanks for telling me about it; I will be sure to pick up a copy of Vermont Life.
    I love the teal green tucked into the bottom of your painting. I am a photographer who I believe is a frustrated painter. You do inspire me!

    • Peter Huntoon says:

      Thanks Betsy, that green was one of the first colors I put down…building the rest of the painting around it. One thing always leads to another. Don’t worry, I get frustrated too!

    I love this one Peter! Hope it stays green for just a bit longer!
