Places with a Past

The inspiration derived from painting locations that have a "history" speak to me with a resounding voice...
 
Antiquities
Who could not wonder about the past history of theses antique urns tucked under a porch down an inviting alleyway in the south of France. They caught my eye on a warm summer day as the sun danced in and out.
 
 
Weir Farm
The J Alden Weir Farm on Nod Hill Rd in Wilton,CT is now a National Park. It is open to the public for tours of the farmhouse, grounds and the artist's studio. I was only there for a few minutes before this view of the farmhouse "chose" me. The early autumn light was spectacular.
 
Yellow Victorian
Ah!! The charming Victorian, just a stone's throw from my studio and the Branford green!! I just fell in love with it. Wouldn't you love to be sitting on that screened porch enjoying the summer day?
