I'm seeing something in these farmland vistas along a ridge running east to west, just a few miles from home. I can't quite say why - something about clusters of barns, silos, outbuildings, houses, big trees engulfed by stretches of cultivated fields and woodlots. This undulating landscape that seems oceanlike and the buildings like seagoing vessels criss-crossing the waves. Ribbons overlapping and disappearing over a moving line of horizon. I'm doing these pencil and watercolor studies to try to get to something; I'm not quite sure what.
