"This painting was a commissioned painting. The beautiful view of the farm so densely enclosed with trees is one of the prettiest areas in New York State. The farm has been a family getaway for over two generations and the family wanted the view you see as you approach it by the only driveway. During the summer it is lush, shaded and quiet. It is a bird watcher's paradise and a place to withdraw from the harried pace of today's world. It will eventually be displayed in a private collection in California. There are over twenty different colors of green in the painting."
