If you ever get a chance to visit Crystal Bridges, it’s well worth it. This painting wasn’t on display when I was there, but the collection as a whole was remarkable.

This was a favorite painting of my father’s. I’m among the relatively few people who’ve seen it in the New York Public Library and also at Crystal Bridges.

My pleasure, Sheila! Yes – a master study in perspective, for sure. I get lost in this painting trying to take in all the details. The video shows some great magnified shots. I’m so glad you enjoyed this. 😎🌺

I cannot thank you enough for the introduction to the extraordinarily talented painter, Asher Brown Durant.
His painting is one of the most beautiful, symbolic paintings that I have seen, and I love it! I looked at his other paintings and all are special. I love the quotes and literary connections. Thank you!

There are a lot of paintings at our local art museum in this style and I always stop to admire them for a long time. The boldness of the colors and the attention to details always fascinates me. In this one, I’m drawn to the moss on the logs and stone—it’s so beautiful!
