COUNTRY ROADS

The tree-lined twists and turns of narrow country lanes hold the promise of adventure and discovery and, for some, the feeling of coming home. The 26 bucolic landscapes featured here leave us wondering what lies just over the hill or around the next bend.

Quiet Road, Susan Lynn, 2018, oil, 9 x 12 in., collection the artist, plein air “I made this piece while visiting Port Clyde, Maine, a few summers ago,” says Susan Lynn. “The turnoff to the road was just up the hill from the busy harbor. I loved how the late afternoon shadows cut across the pavement, framing the sunlit fence and hedge. The distant sounds of the boaters coming in at the end of the day made this hidden spot seem all the more peaceful.”
