Pulled Over
in Amish Country
7 in. x 14 in., acrylic on
traditional-depth canvas
$180 unframed
Last March we had a chance to visit dear friends who had moved last year to Ohio. They took us on a little day trip out to Amish country where the gently rolling hills and farmland as far as the eye can see felt so different from our native New England. We still have working farms, livestock and cropland in New Hampshire, but everywhere we are hemmed in by Appalachian mountains, granite outcroppings, maples and tall white pine. There is no "as far as the eye can see" in New Hampshire (unless you climb one of those mountains) because you can only see as far as the next stand of pine. This painting is Mount Hope, Ohio, where, after a feast at Mrs. Yoder's Kitchen (oh, that pressure-fried chicken!) I insisted our friend John pull off to the side so I could get some shots of the landscape... as the clip-clop of a buggy approached!
