On the way back from Vermont, heading South on Rt 89, in Grantham, NH, I passed the meadow where the subjects of a good number of paintings can (could once) be seen. Two twin barns sitting in the middle of a valley meadow, aging and abandoned for years. A few years ago, someone contacted me that one of them had fallen under heavy snow. On this trip back from Vermont, passing that meadow, the other barn was gone. It obviously succumbed to age and/or weather. All that was left was the empty golden meadow. This piece is based on one view of these structures, from when I first discovered them over a decade ago. “Monuments” 16 x 20 o/c.
