Before snow plows, there were snow rollers. Pulled by oxen or horses, these heavy wooden rollers packed and flattened the snow on roads. The Town of Peacham has the only known barn in Vermont purposely built to store town snow rollers. But it fell into disrepair since its mid-1800's construction & needs some work to shore it up.
Proceeds from the sale of this painting "Rolling Home" and printed notecards will benefit the roller barn's restoration. Contact me, or find the cards at the Peacham Winter Farmers' Market, Thursdays 3-6. Suggested donation: $10 for either a pack of 6 cards 4x6 size, or pack of 5 cards 5x7 size, both with envelopes. Or I can mail them - contact me for postage rate & your address. Checks may be made out to the Town of Peacham with memo Roller Barn Fund.
The original watercolor is on display at the Artisans Gallery in Waitsfield, Vermont http://www.vtartisansgallery.com/
