Description:

This is an 8 x 10 inch oil painting on a hardboard panel. All throughout Northern New England you can find ancient stone walls dividing one farmers land from another. The stones came from clearing the land of rocks and there was always a fresh crop of stones to add as the winter frost pushed them to the surface. There was almost always a gate opening so the farmers could help one another with hay wagons etc. These places are fast disappearing with urban sprawl and development. Maples were planted along the walls as WITNESS trees to bear witness to the property markers and to provide shade for pasturing animals in the summer. The maple trees were also tapped for their sap in late winter and early spring to provide maple syrup and sugar.
