Sunday Sketchbook: Vermont


I'm finishing up two triptychs, and about to start a third, inspired by this tiny industrial hamlet in the Green Mountains. These sketches sum up what I find so appealing--geometry, romance, history, perspective, mystery--about an ordinary place that it's easy to drive past without a second look.

Susan, I absolutely agree with you about the mysteriousness of this place. I love the way you captured it in your sketches, particularly the strong diagonals! Talk about drama!

Happy New Year,
Christine
