any given moment III

in a private collection

sold through Edgewater’s new venue, Edgewater Gallery on the Green, Middlebury, Vermont

I have loved this building for years: one door, one window,
careful construction with beautiful architectural details.
I finally stopped one day last year and asked the owner
what purpose this iconic building had, and learned that
it was originally a corn crib (which is why the building is
slightly built up from the ground: to allow for air circulation.)

I painted this version about noon on a winter day. I think of
this as the third in my Simple Gifts series. I’m hoping to
keep studying this arrestingly simple building, looking and
learning about living in the present moment.
