Winter Scenes I Original Paintings by Mane Artist, J. P. Gaudette |
Log Cabin Farm Putney, Vermont A scene composed using four old photo post cards given to the artist's grandmother when she vacationed at her relatives' maple syrup farm back in the early 1900's. |
Feeding the Geese The Landing in South Berwick, Maine An ideal moment caught on film by the artist and used to create this oil painting. |
The Olde Grist Mill 1774 East Lebanon, Maine This water powered grist mill and shingle mill was built of hand-hewn timbers in 1774 by Joseph Hardison. Millstones were used to grind the grain from neighboring farms. It was a community mill. Each man helped to raise it and each ran if for a day when his turn came around. Now a National Historic Site, it was in process of being restored to pre-Civil War running condition back in 1976. Small industrial buildings like this one are precursors of the first textile mills. |
