Original Oil Painting, Plein Air, Berkshire Landscape, Sheep Hill, Pond, by order Robert Lafond

My notes for the day I painted this one: "The poet Charles Simic writes, "Emerson asks in his famous essay 'Nature' why Americans should not also enjoy an original relation to the universe and have a poetry and philosophy of insight and not of tradition. This notion that the truth has to be rediscovered time and time again makes sense in a country order with a population of diverse ethnic, cultural and religious backgrounds, and his call for self-reliance has continued to inspire whatever originality our literature and arts have accomplished to date."

The 12x9 oil on panel I did the other day [mid-April] at Sheep Hill trying to rediscover something." 12x9 inches, oil on panel. Unframed.
