Country Road I

Country Road I

20" x 16" acrylic on canvas

A few years ago I traveled with a group of friends to Middlesburg, Va. and stayed at the Poor House Bed and Breakfast. It was actually once an authentic poor house where people were sent who had debts they couldn't pay. Now it is converted to a warm, comfortable bed and breakfast. This is a view near this B & B as you hike down the road a bit.

Middlesburg is horse country and is so close to Washington D.C. that when the Kennedy's were in the White House they attended Catholic Church services here. Also, I was told that Mrs. Kennedy used to ride horses through the fields of Middlesburg. Robert Duvall once owned a bar and restaurant not far from this B & B. It is a great place to vacation, especially in the Fall with the colorful foliage.

This painting won an Honorable mention at the Perkiomen Art Show in 2005.

This original painting is not for sale, but prints in various sizes will be available soon. You can email me for prices and sizes if you are interested. At a later date, I will add them to this post.
