I found your family website this morning and hope you can put me in touch with Eric, whose work I’ve admired for years. I’d like to tell him about an idea I had this morning at 4 a.m. If you could forward this note to him, I’d greatly appreciate it!
I am presently in charge of refurbishing The Red Clover Inn in Mendon, Vermont, an 1840s farmhouse, carriage house and Inn. Through the efforts of many talented local tradesmen (and women) we are pretty much gutting the place and bringing the old buildings back to their original glory, with new paint, windows, refinished hardwood floors, carpeting, lighting, etc. We hope to turn the Inn and restaurant into a showpiece where our guests will find comfort, beauty, good food and drink, simple and elegant rooms all within a stone’s throw of some of the most gorgeous and rapidly growing recreational areas of central Vermont.
In an effort to promote Vermont artists, and as a painter myself, I’d like to place REAL art on the walls, and wanted to invite you to consider placing one or two of your original pieces here in the Inn, for sale, beginning in December. My vision would be to feature local artists either in a fixed time frame solo show, or as part of a larger exhibit of a group of artists, in our public areas and guest rooms. Our clientele will be from the Boston/New York areas, and since we are a high end establishment, I believe that you would have good exposure to tourists with disposable incomes, and I think it could be a beneficial arrangement for everyone. We’d expect no commission – just the pleasure and enjoyment of your work. If this is something that might appeal to you, or you’re like I am, and have odd paintings tucked away here and there in your home collecting dust, please give me a call Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. here at the Red Clover. Or stop by and see what we’re doing if you’re in the area.
This is a new place to leave us a message!
Surprise! Thought I would surprise you and leave a message. The pictures you took in VT are great. Especially enjoy the slide show.
Love, Mom
Tom, you can e-mail me directly at pdt66@aol.com and I will look into the issue with the site.
Thanks!
Tom, I tested the “suggestion” link in the genealogy site and it appears to be working for me. Send me an e-mail please at pdt66@aol.com
