A scene in VT. This piece was done in the studio from quick sketches and photos. All of the contrasting roof shapes and colors caught my eye and drew me to this relic of a bygone era. Since I always carry a basic selection of pastels and sketch paper with me when I travel, this was a great opportunity to capture the feeling of being caught in a time warp. I made quick sketches and color notes as it was getting towards evening and translated all of that into this piece in my studio about 10 days later.
