The cover of the local paper in the town of the residency.
A plein Air painting of the historic house I donated to the museum there.
Joy and some friends drove up for a visit.
There was abundant wildlife. you can see a deer in the distance.
There were frogs everywhere.
I found this little newt under some bark of a dead tree.
These are pics from the artist residency I had at Weir Farm in Wilton, CT. The local paper did a story on my stay. J. Alden Weir, a 19th century artist, lived on this property. It has since become a national park and they offer the cottage and studio to an artist for 2 weeks to a month for free. I was there in 2nd half of July. I did a lot of hiking and hunting for reptiles and amphibians. I did a little painting as well.
Nathan, thanks for sharing the photos and telling us about your artist-in-residency at the Weir Farm. We read the article in the Wilton Villager-you are quite humble at your achievement of earning this position; "artists around the world compete for this residency". Wow! It is wonderful to see your work! Geneva
