This is from an area of the farm that is not popularly photographed at The Jenne Farm is in Reading, Vermont.
The farm is busy during sugaring season and sells maple syrup to the locals and visitors. How fun it was to visit as they were cooking down. I painted soon after in late spring.
It has been said in many publications that this is the most photographed farm in North America. Once they received $300.00 from Budweiser for a photo shoot, how generous. It is gorgeous anytime of year and they have not charged for the artists to use the beautiful scene, but there is now a box at the top of the hill for donations.
The farm was built in 1813, in 2003 was still a 460 acre spread and
surviving by beef cattle and maple syrup. It has also served as a setting in the films Forrest Gump and Funny Farm. The farm photographs have been used for postcards, posters, calendars of all types over 60 years.

This is the vision I see so often in my own area. I feel right at home here on this farm in this rural setting. Nothing better than the world of the country and its simple life. Love this scene through and through Nancy. F/L.
