The Road Less Traveled

2/15/2017

We have enjoyed some unusually warm days in between the cold wintery ones. (In fact, the next day, this scene was blanketed in heavy snow!). But this day, was delightfully warm, almost 70 degrees and I took advantage of the weather to return to the Ulrich farm to paint.
I love the old farm lane that enters from a smaller, older side road, Hill Road. It's the original entrance to the farm, and there is a special feeling when you turn onto the dirt lane and pass through the canopy of trees along its edge. There's a sense of timelessness, a feeling of reverence as I make my way down past these wonderful barns and outbuildings. Though they are now quiet, dormant in this stage of their lives, they speak of years of hard work, lives well lived, endless seasons and harvests of plenty.

If you look closely you'll see Piccadilly and Midge sunbathing in the barnyard... they are the resident donkeys who still enjoy the comforts of the barn and farm.

My husband and I love your paintings of the Ulrich farm. My husband is a nephew of Laura who worked on the farm during summers as a teen.
We would love to buy one of your paintings or a copy.
Would this be a possibility?

Hi Holly!
Absolutely. I will be making prints available for sale by the summer. Currently, I am working on creating a body of paintings for a show that I would like to have in the late Fall. Laura and I are working together and are excited about pairing her stories/memories with my paintings. I will let you know when and where that is happening as soon as I finalize plans.
In the meantime, you and your husband are more than welcome to come to my studio to see the paintings. I can also show you which ones will be turned into prints. I would love to meet you both and hear your husband's memories of working on the farm!
My cell phone is 610-349-1661 and my studio/home is very close to Laura's farm.
Thanks so much for following the posts and your interest!

    I grew up along the Delaware River in Bucks County, PA. My earliest memories are of drawing outside with my sketchbook and it evolved into plein air painting with watercolors. I love capturing scenes that inspire me - many I find along my everyday travels in and around Bucks County.
