Although many dairy farmers in Vermont go out of business every year, the countryside is still punctuated with a lot of farms. Most of them have been around for so long they seem organic, like a natural part of the landscape. A friend walked with me up the road to show me where to paint mountains, but the farm below was so still and peaceful in the early morning shadows I couldn’t resist–yet another barn! The mist-covered mountains weren’t really there behind the farm but I could see them off to my right, so I just moved them in order to take advantage of both views–it isn’t just faith that can move mountains!
