Geraniums, The Olsen House


I was running around today getting stuff for rebuilding the chimney, so no new photo today. I was looking through some older images - this was actually shot with film some years ago. It is a detail shot of one window in the Olsen House, in Cushing, Maine, where Andrew Wyeth painted a number of his famous paintings. The really cool thing is that the house is owned by the Farnsworth Museum, and you can go walk through the house and see just where Wyeth painted a particular painting. They have 8x10 framed reproductions of paintings done there, located at the exact site in the building. It is SO amazing to be standing where Wyeth stood and see what he saw. It is a very powerful experience. This is just a shot I did outside - I don't think it has any of the feeling for the house as Andrew Wyeth painted it.
