What One Remembers Seeing


The third painting that I did on Saturday, this one from the top of Sheep Hill looking towards The Hopper.  I've cropped out Mount Greylock on the top left.  Shame on me.  My panel wasn't big enough.   There is something mesmerizing about this view.  It has been my experience that people will appear at the small parking spot, up to my right, and just look for a while.  On this day, late in the afternoon with an incredible sunlight, people were showing up to take pictures.  They will discover later that the view is impossible to photograph in a way that will match what they remember seeing.  9x12 oil on panel.
