In September 2011, I completed this. It was an old smokehouse, but was recently re-built. I painted three sides of the building. It is located at Infinity Recycling in Queen Anne's County, on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. I started painting the day after Hurricane Irene went through. I worked on this at the same time I was working on the "Quilt Barn" at Crow Farm in Kent County. I love the poem on this building. It is from Spring Psalter by Nate Pritts: Darling, I leave you the forever unblooming twig half-sunk in spring mud & the Nature that allows such delicate & lasting atrocity. Darling, darling, darling: my voice is a branch that would reach. I leave you the ragged sky, once full of cloud & now not. I leave you these things just as I leave you: graceful passage from one something to the next. Darling, even in this my voice dissipates into hush & whiffs of light, sun-thrown, hurtle into the ground. Art front page.
