146 - Streling Valley - Print

from $25.00

This is a limited edition print of an original acrylic painting. Printed with archival quality inks and paper.

Every year my friends from undergrad at UVM have a reunion girls weekend in June. In 2023 we went for a hike together in Stowe on a trail that opened into a picturesque field with a pond. We all oohed and awed as we basked in the beauty of the surroundings, and someone remarked how funny it was that we were all so astounded by the scenery — as if we were tourists who had never been to Vermont, as if it was our first time going on a hike. But I think what we were collectively feeling was the giddy joy of being with old friends, and the lifting of our minds out of daily life that allowed us to feel a deeper love and appreciation for our surroundings. Happy just to be there. I snapped a photo while we were crossing a stream and my friends remarked, “You should paint that and call it ‘146’ and only we will know what it means”. As the painting developed it took on a warmth not reflective of the reference photograph, but mirroring the warmth of my memory of that moment.

Choose 8 X 10 ($25) or 11 X 14 ($40) size.

Ships in a sturdy envelope. If you are local to Vermont you may also opt for “pickup” upon checkout at the Emile Gruppe Gallery in Jericho, VT.
