Tyson Village Store May 8, 2014

Like you I reckon… I know what I know.

But for everything else… Google.

“Today, Tyson is largely a summer settlement located at the south end of Echo Lake.”

This subject presented an excellent design possibility.

And if I hope to paint every town in Vermont before I’m done, Tyson was on the list!

“I grew up in Rutland and love the unique beauty of the Green Mountain state. I live on the West Coast and miss the brilliant fall foliage.  Thank you, Peter!”

      Hi Terry, and thank you. The last painting I did is usually my favorite, so I agree. 🙂

    As I have stated before, I absolutely love Vermont Country Stores and this one is beautiful!

    • Peter Huntoon says:

      Thanks Randy, I’m sure you will be seeing a few more country stores from me over the next few years. They are like a magnet to my artistic eye.

  • Olivia Teja says:

    I like the Vermont bend in the road and the simplicity of this one.

  • Jim Holliday says:

    I continue to be amazed and applaud how you use simple tools – water, brush, and color – to extract from a sterile photograph the essence of our shared perception of reality that registers beyond neuropathways directly into our hearts. And, thanks for continuing to make your art accessible to our screen backgrounds. I’m looking forward to the results of your visits to Washington County where I spent most of live. Happy trails, Peter!

    • Peter Huntoon says:

      Wow, that’s a nice comment Jim, thanks very much! Let me know if there are some specific Washington County scenes you have in mind.

  • Brian Dugan says:

    I could feel myself driving down the road when I looked at this one. Thanks.

  • This is an arresting image — the building just sings in contrast to the surrounding woods, and the swing of the road makes me feel that dizzy sensation only a great New England road seems to offer. Kudos to you, Peter!

    • Peter Huntoon says:

      Thanks Kathy, and all the best to you for your show at the Edgewater Gallery in Middlebury this month. I saw the invitation card and your paintings are gorgeous, of course! I can’t make the reception tonight but I will be sure to visit the gallery and see your show.

      The pleasure was mine Pat, thanks for visiting my studio. And yes, I sure am one lucky fella. Like my dad always says, “the harder I work the luckier I am.” I look forward to painting the Jersey Shore someday. See you at Art in the Park this summer!

      Hi Thomas, So glad you stumbled onto my work and this painting of your store. Thanks for providing me a great subject!

  • Thomas Village says:

    I was taken aback to discover this lovely rebdering of The Tyson Village Store. Thank you for the joy of seeing my place of business and home (I live above the store) from a remarkably fresh perspective.
