Painting Description

This “no winter maintenance” road is one I discovered west of Milverton. Dirt roads like this are much used by the Amish as a way of staying off the normal higher traffic roads.

There are still quite a few unpaved and rarely maintained roads like this in the Amish area of Perth County. I thought this spring road with the subtle almost watercolour-like colours a subject that I couldn’t pass. It is difficult for me to rein myself in when I drive through the countryside, any countryside, and see the many subjects just waiting for me to paint. The opportunities are endless.
