Sometimes I like to design and paint from imagination. This painting is one of those that was the result of visiting many places and pulling from those memories to imagine an idyllic scene along one of the many streams and fields I have vistited throughout Vermont. You can see the influence of Camel's Hump, although a little different in this depiction, in the background. I tend to gravitate towards places that entice me to sit and enjoy the day, and the view. A big shade tree, a gentle stream, warm breezes, what could be better?
