| A gray day in the country. |
The
Massachusetts Plein Air Meetup Group spent the day out
on the farm in Phillipston, Massachusetts. The farm belongs to the parents of
one member, and they graciously allowed us to come paint there again this year
(and served us lunch!).

| The huge maple is glorious when the leaves turn |
The hilltop has amazing views of the countryside, and even
on a gray, damp day it was impressive. Artists eagerly set up their easels to
enjoy and paint the vistas. Joseph, of course, with his usual perverse nature
instead took his setup down behind the barn.
I first spotted one lone pumpkin remaining in the remnants
of the vegetable garden. While everything around it was dying off, this shone
brightly in spite of the overcast sky.

| The Last Pumpkin |
We were not at peak foliage yet, so in a continued search
for color I located the heavy equipment in the back. The front of the barn is
as neat and trim as anything, but the back, as is typical in New England,
doesn't get any attention. I painted this last year as well, but this year's
painting was more successful.

Looking forward to going back in the Spring..
