Williamsburg Barns

Click here to buy.


The farms in the the Berkshires of western Massachusetts have often been in the same families for generations. The buildings and land have been well cared for. The sugar maples and oaks planted many years ago stand tall next to the stone walls. The barns on this farm looked lovely in the late light.

Fryeburg Farm

Click here to buy.


Every summer I spend two long weekends painting in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. I drive all over the mountains painting on both sides of the ridges. When I travel to Evans' Notch the road heads east and crosses the state line into Maine. I drive through the lovely farming town of Fryeburg to reach the notch. Farms like this one are found in the valley along the Saco River as it flows through the fertile fields of town.

Vermont Cows and Barns

Every year I make several painting trips to Vermont. I found this farm in North Bennington, VT on the NY border.  The owner lets me drive up into his high open pastures to paint. The views are magnificent.

The White River Rochester, VT


The White River starts some where up in the Brandon Gap of the Green Mountains and rushes down the mountains to Rochester, VT where it winds its way east through the valleys to White River Junction, VT and the Connecticut River.  The river curves right up against the fields at Liberty Hill Farm.

Liberty Hill Farm Rochester, VT


Liberty Hill Farm in Rochester, VT is a beautiful old farm tucked into the east side of the Green Mountains. Bob and Beth run this dairy farm and B&B. It was hit hard by Hurricane Irene but like true Vermonters they bounced back and are in top form.

Maine Farm and Fields

This is a favorite farm of mine. It is one of the last few working farms in a small town in southern Maine where there were once hundreds of farms. Now the landscape has returned to woodlands.

Maine Spring Farm

As the snow melts off the fields in southern Maine the fields show their golden colors. The tree buds are fat and red ready to burst.
