There is a group of painters, mostly former students of Frank Mason, who meet every June for the month in and about Stowe to paint together. This group invites others to joing them on their painting excursions. On this night we were painting from a beautiful location on George Woodard's Farm in Waterbury Vermont. Expansive fields, barns and outbuildings, and this view of Camel's Hump make this location a favorite each year. I chose a vertical orientation for this peice eccentuating the long view through a break in the trees. I also kept Camel's Hump just in view to make it more interesting and keep it from being dead-center. Some paintings are a repository for memories, which influence my reaction to the painting. This is one of those. Every time I look at it I travel back to that place, like I was there yesterday.
