Print Information:“Landscapes, according to a recent survey, are the most popular limited edition print subject matter across the country. The artist’s success with “Memory Lane” and the “old Kentucky Home” series reflect that fact. Mr. Vittitow considers himself a regional artist in terms of subject matter. He plans to pretty much continue that way as his region of the country is where his market is. One standard Americana and sough central regional landscape he has not heretofore done is represented by “Snow-Bound”. “Snow-Bound” presents a typical but vanishing scene, i.e. barn with sign. He chose a winter landscape as snow scenes are his favorite and because his “Winter at My Old Kentucky Home” is probably the most popular of that series. The results of his efforts brought to mind John Greenleaf Whittier’s poem entitled “Snow-Bound”. For those nor familiar with that long work, the artist has quoted below a few chosen lines which he feels especially relate to the painting.The sun through dazzling snow-mist shone. The bitter wind unheeded blew. The moaning tree-boughs swaying blind And from the shagbark overhead The grizzled squirrel dropped his shell. O’er windy hill, through clogged ravine, And woodland paths that wound between Low drooping pine-boughs winter-weighed. Next morn we wakened with the shout, Of merry voices high and clear. Of winter joys his boyhood knew Of simple life and country ways.NOTE: Thank you for buying this limited edition print.
