When I first returned to the St. Lawrence Valley over 25 years
ago, for $2.00 worth of gas you could travel the back roads of the county all day. Like a
modern explorer, armed with camera and sketch pad, I searched for the road less traveled.
It was on one such excursion that this painting was derived. Often a sketch or photograph
will lie dormant for years before it is developed into a painting and the exact location
is lost between a right turn at the red barn and a left by the fallen tree. I still find
it exciting to see what is around the bend on the back roads, where an intimacy of
Americana can still be found.
