There’s a store in town that has a huge, and (mostly) empty wall at the checkout area.   I thought customers waiting in line might enjoy my Willow on Pond sequence:  four seasons, four images, same scene.   This image was a part of the sales proposal.  Alas, it went nowhere beyond  “..can you do a mockup and send it along to us ..”

Amy and her husband bought a house in Wardsboro in 1963;  three of the kitchen doors, it turns out, were decorated by Feodor Rojankovsky sometime in the 1930’s.  She tells the story in the May/June, 2008 issue of Vermont magazine.
