The Meriwether 

It has been quite some time since I’ve sat down to write a Meriwether. As the clock ticks towards the end of summer it is a time of reflection for the summer that has passed. This summer I covered some serious ground. From Abiquiu to Ireland I’ve gotten to widen my internal map and fill my sketchbook pages. In between travel, I converted an old writers office in my parents barn into a studio. I got to go to work each day barefoot with my dog Louie by my side. After a day of painting, Louie and I would go down and swim in the river. It was a picturesque Vermont summer. My painting techniques shifted this summer as I grew new skill with each piece I did. Below are my five favorite pieces from this summer. Enjoy, and let me know your thoughts on them.
