The Brattleboro Retreat is an iconic institution in Brattleboro, Vermont. It has a long history of serving people and thus shaping their lives while simultaneously being shaped by the land. Also, it is situated within a lovely basin of water, fields, hills and forests.
Every time I drive along Route 30 near town I have an urge to paint in plein air, some aspect of the landscape.
This watercolor was painted late one afternoon at one of the Brattleboro Retreat's picnic table's under a dense canopy of one of their maple trees.
The body of water, distant hills and reeds which edge the shoreline, make for a pleasant landscape in my mind and memory.
