Along the Lamoille River, from Jeffersonville to Morrisville, is an old railroad bed converted to a bike and walking trail. Eventually the trail will cross the entire state from Swanton to Saint Johnsbury, the longest rail trail in the US. I've walked and biked along segments of this trail along the Lamoille River and explored painting opportunities with fellow artist Andrew Orr. This painting is inspired by some farm fields along that trail. I imagined this stretch at dawn to create this painting. Looser and more tonal than most of my other work, it allowed me to explore some ideas I've had for a while for some early morning and late day works that are about the moods that light creates.
