This 4 x 6 inch watercolor is my fourth rendition of Whitefield, New Hampshire in the late 1930's or 40's. It is the most historically and physically accurate of all of the other works. I had the aid of Google Earth Street Views to clarify it was I was actually seeing. The angle of the path that the train is taking across the the painting is more accurate because it crosses the river diagonally in the foreground shortly after leaving the train station which is out of the picture to the right. The one building which is no longer there is the second building from the left and has been replaced by a two car garage. If you have Google Earth you can check it out by searching for Whitefield New Hampshire Depot. I was under orders from my lovely wife to paint it in black and white. Knowing it to be in my best interest I did exactly as I was instructed. I hope you like it.
