"TYLER HILL RED BARNS IN SNOW"
"There is a hush... The trees are bare...a feeling of peace and serenity ...The winter's last snowfall...its white blanket not yet broken by the footprints of "creatures large and small"...yet the pathways trampled by the hard-working farmer...still visible...The sunshine creating shadows and patterns...warming the thin,icy crust on the little pond behind the Tyler Hill Road Barns...
preparing to welcome the new geese and gosslings for a Springtime swim...
The pond begins to crack open... like the shells of the speckled eggs in the nest...warmed by the mother songbird...the father bird sometimes on or near the nest ...sometimes watching it from afar from a not so distant tree branch...
Promises of Spring..
Patches of hay peek out of the soft damp earth beneath the snow which has fallen on the countryside farmfield along the winding road...
The reds of the barns become more vivid in color against the sparkling,soft white snow upon the ground...
Perhaps the last snow...
melting away from the tiny roof of the cupola atop the milkbarns..one of brightly colored red wood... the original barn of old Pennsylvania laid up stone...
The old haybale appears...a remnant of the season past...when it had been nourishment for the livestock...
Now it becomes the building material for the new cozy nests providing for the next family of springtime songbirds...
An artist may not always create a "masterpiece" by technique...Perhaps the most evocative "masterpieces" become such from the thoughts and deep feelings ...the sentiments which the artist hopes to document in some way ...in the hopes that it will be enough to bring to the viewer the knowledge that they, too, can share a pleasant moment or two from the scenes..artistically apt or not... presented to them. We are all artists in that we all have something to share.
Humbly, I present this little piece to you.. In earnest, I am of the opinion that even the not so " "master" pieces " of this artist.. with pencil in hand... wishes to show others that they are artists as well.. that they have something to share..in whatever medium... and that they, too, can "put themselves out there" . It is my intention to share the vision of hope.. to those out there who may think that they are "not good enough" to create...The idea is.. to share a pleasant experience through another medium other than words ...sometimes.. is the ART itself!
I am glad to have had you with me ..to have shared this serene and beautiful part of the day with you at "THE TYLER HILL RED BARNS IN SNOW"
May we all share the visions of COURAGE and Hope for the new season...
