My First 40 Years

Barn Over Beanfield

Barn Over Beanfield 1994    oil on canvas    16x18"     collection of Ernst and Gail von Metzsch    

Not far outside Rochester were the lovely farms and country of upstate New York. Short drives found me many rural country sites I never would have seen in Boston.

This painting was featured in a photography magazine for up-and-coming photographers because a young photographer from Rochester Institute of Technology saw me out painting and lined up the horizon in the painting with the actual horizon - it all looked like the same horizon.  The photo looked like a Rene Magritte painting.
