PAINTINGS OF VERMONT

Springfield Mill on a Winter’s Day

This is a painting captures the historic red brick mill in the heart of Springfield, Vermont. The mill is an impressive, weathered building rising from the banks of the Black River. The mill and river sit at the center of town, standing like a once-mighty castle alongside its moat. The scene shows the stark beauty of a Vermont winter day: bare trees, an icy cascading river, and the mill itself–resilient against both weather and time.

Artistic detail of the icy river water cascading past the concrete foundations of the mill
Artistic detail of the old factory windows, weathered by the years and colored by the light of the sky reflecting off the pains in different tints blue and grey
