This original watercolor was inspired by a friend who wanted a painting of a sugarhouse for his maple sugaring business card. It currently hangs in his dining room and was recently chosen out of 300 entries to be included in the Fletcher Allen yearly calendar as the month of March image. Fletcher Allen is a large hospital located in Burlington, Vermont. A calendar was sent out to each of their 6,000 employees. I'm extremely honored to have been chosen to be in the calendar.
