I created this plein air painting in 2018. It’s our house, a beautiful early 1800s farmhouse on top of the mountain in Washington, Massachusetts. In it’s earlier days, our house was in the center of town. The cemetery and old town hall is across the street. The church used to be next door. It’s not in the center of town any longer, but the house is still majestic. This is an original section of the house off of the main part. On one side of the house is a healthy stand of plume poppies. At the time I painted this, honey bees were all over the poppies, and the plants were positively electric with activity. It was a beautiful, bright summer day, and I wanted to capture that.
It’s 6″ x 8″, painted with oils on masonite.
