old favorite



This field is a favorite of mine, and I have painted it several times, though I don't think I've ever sold one of the paintings. Blinded by sentiment, perhaps; but I have always loved the way the tree row rests on the ridge and the clear view of the hill beyond. I was painting in this field when the twin towers were hit on September 11th (and flight 93 went down a couple of hours east), and I had no idea what was happening on that crystal-clear perfect day until I arrived home.
