This painting captures Mount Ascutney as seen from the calm waters of the Connecticut River. The river flows directly between Vermont and New Hampshire and Mount Ascutney tucks into Vermont. Painted on a pleasant summer’s day, the vibrant greens of maple, pine and oak trees line the riverbanks, while a soft blue haze settles over the distant mountain. Viewed from the center of the river, this artwork brings the beauty and serenity of New England’s natural scenery to life.
