Chiselville Covered Bridge
Chiselville, Vermont, Covered Bridge
in oil by artist Marion Fleming.
One dollar fine for traversing this bridge at a pace faster than a walk!
This is the Chiselville Covered bridge in Sunderland, Vermont. It is perched forty feet above the lovely Roaring Branch. It was built around 1870, but underwent substantial repairs in the 1970s when two gravel trucks attempted to cross the bridge at the same time.
Why is it called Chiselville? In the mid-1800s chisels were made there in two large shop buildings: one for forging and shaping and the other for grinding and polishing. The buildings were located on the other side of the bridge you see in the painting.

After the Snowfall
After the Snowfall
in watercolor by artist Marion Fleming.
The areas around covered bridges are often picture worthy spots as they span brooks and rivers. Just after the snow stops, when wildlife leave their storm sanctuaries, the world is quiet and gentle.

Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep
Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep
in charcoal by artist Marion Fleming.
Marion was commissioned to paint portraits for retirements, dedications and other events, but she became most well-known for her portraits of children. How darling is this drawing of a little boy saying his good night prayers?

Monarch Delight
Monarch Delight

The migration nears! The monarchs that migrate in fall are the great-great-grandchildren of the monarchs that left Mexico last spring.

This painting depicts hundreds of monarchs feeding in a field of wild Goldenrod. This really happened!! ⠀

Common Milkweed
Common Milkweed
in acrylic by artist Marion Fleming.
Milkweed is the only plant that Monarch butterflies will consume. Several organizations sell or even give milkweed seeds away to promote their growth. Why? Many milkweed plants have been destroyed by herbicides or roadside cutting and farming. As a result, the monarch butterfly population is in steep decline. These butterflies are an American icon and are simply too precious to lose.

Asters
Asters

There are said to be 180 varieties of Aster. The blossoms of the various varieties may look daisy-like, similar to a Dahlia flower, or even a like Peony blossom. Butterflies love them.
The flowers in this still life, as in all the other still lifes in this portfolio, were grown by Fleming's Greenhouses in Otego, NY.

Lilacs
Lilacs
in oil by artist Marion Fleming.
Lilac bushes with plentiful and full blooms grew behind Marion's home. The aroma was extraodinary. Hence, the perfect subject for a still life. The background of this painting really sets off the purple blooms.

Marigolds
Marigolds
in oil by artist Marion Fleming.
Marion and her husband operated a retail greenhouse for over 40 years. It's no wonder, then, that flowers appeared in many of Marion's paintings. The contrast between the yellow Marigolds and blue background makes this painting a real standout.

As unexpected and striking as it is to see the Kremlin in the background of this painting, it is the reflections created by the wet street that are most intruiging to explore.

Making A Sale
Making a Sale
in watercolor by artist Marion Fleming.
This painting is the result of Marion's trip to Central Asia and Russia. I just love the stance of the prospective purchaser as he evaluates the features of the lemon trees. The seller's body language hints of being approachable yet patient. Behind them in their moment, life goes on.

Conversation in Samarkand
Conversation in Samarkand
in watercolor by artist Marion Fleming.
The blue dome in the background is part of the Shah-i-Zinda Necropolis in Samarkand, Uzbekistan. This was a stop on Marion's trip to Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, and Russia. The colors and detail of the dome and the cobblestones pull one into the scene to ultimately wonder about the ladies in the distance.

Market in Tashkent, Uzbekistan
Market in Tashkent, Uzbekistan
in watercolor by artist Marion Fleming.
Marion and her husband, Everett, managed a greenhouse and grew crops for retail sale for more than forty years, so it's no surprise she painted a scene from a market in Tashkent. The details of this painting are interesting to explore. From the woman cutting vegetables, to the sleepy lady on the left, and the lady holding a baby on the right. The scarves worn by the vendors are also beautifully detailed. And did you notice the sunshine that runs down the arm of the lady in the green shirt?

Going To Market
Going to Market, Central Asia
in watercolor by artist Marion Fleming.
Marion was fascinated by people's faces, their stances, and their clothing. This painting is likely a composite of the people she saw coming and going around the Tashkent market. Isn't the garb of the two men in the foreground striking?

Babushkas Coming from Church
Babushkas Coming From Church
in watercolor by artist Marion Fleming.
A BAbushka is an older woman, typically a grandmother, who is often distinguished by the triangular scarf which she wears, also called a baBUSHka (emphasis on different syllables). Many are alone, losing their husbands to hard work or alcoholism.

Homeless
Homeless
in watercolor by artist Marion Fleming.
It's not easy to see homeless people in the cold, especially when their clothing isn't suitable for the weather. I think this painting gives one permission to look without feeling intrusive to really see how difficult and distressing it is to be homeless.

Therapy
Therapy
in watercolor by artist Marion Fleming.
Fleming's Greenhouses in Otego, NY, grew a large variety of annuals, perennials, and house plants. Marion made a study of many of these flowers. This painting is entitled Therapy because Marion painted these flowers knowing that she had terminal liver cancer. Painting took her mind off the inevitable.

Catskill Bog
Catskill Bog
in acrylic by artist Marion Fleming.
There's no doubt that the rich and diverse colors found in this painting are what compelled Marion to paint this scene. What was once an open wet area and prime spot for catching pollywogs, filled in with several interesting and colorful plants. In the background, the grasses and floral colors are contrasted with the purplish hue of a Catskill mountain.

Farm Support Staff
Farm Support Staff
in watercolor by artist Marion Fleming.
Running a farm is hard work! A support staff is essential. This painting is a throwback to the post WWII era when the wash was commonly hung outside to dry, people still had outhouses, and everyone was just glad the troops were home.

What a Surprise!
What a Surprise!
in pen and ink by artist Marion Fleming.

Octagon House
Octagon House
in watercolor by artist Marion Fleming.
Do you believe houses can be haunted? This octagon house has some interesting story variations. Some people say that every night outside the house the ghost of a young woman is thrown from a horse. Other variations of the story say a woman (or a man) died in the house after falling down stairs.
According to an internet post, the house was built in the 1850s. It was later converted to Bed and Breakfast called Octagon Farm B & B. The mountains in the background are part of the lovely Catskills. Notice the sap buckets on the maple trees in the foreground, indicating it is the month of March.

Oneonta Railroad Yard
Oneonta Railroad Yard
in watercolor by artist Marion Fleming.
Who loves trains? This is a scene from the Oneonta, NY railroad yard. Oneonta was once one of the busiest railroad towns in Upstate New York. Several train lines ran through the city, and a pair of elaborate depots welcomed incoming and outgoing visitors from near and far.
The rail yard was the largest major employer in the city. Many of the workers were immigrants, mostly Italian.
The D&H railroad work house could claim to be "the world's largest roundhouse," where efforts to repair trains went on around the clock.

Oneonta Railroad Yard, Oneonta, NY. Notice the rust that runs down the side of the railroad car, bisecting the heart. The economy in Upstate New York has been in decline for many years with the departure of key industries. Perhaps this painting provides some commentary?

Crystal Palace
Crystal Palace
in watercolor by artist Marion Fleming.
Reflections on water can distract from a painting’s focal point. In this painting, however, the trees and their reflections on the water form a pleasing symmetry. The delicate white trees in the distance moved Marion to name this painting, The Crystal Palace. Discovering and painting a landscape such as this is what Marion lived for.

Free Spirits of Daytona
Free Spirits of Daytona

After learning she had a rare form of liver cancer, Marion sought to travel as much as she was able. During one of her trips she visited the Florida beaches. In this painting she captured her admiration for these birds and her wish to attain such spirit and freedom.

Spring Awakening

Susquehanna Flood
Susquehanna Flood
in watercolor by artist Marion Fleming.
The Susquehanna meanders 444 miles through New York, Pennsylvania, and Maryland. The North Branch begins at Cooperstown, NY, of baseball fame, and ends in the Chesapeake Bay. I spent many enjoyable hours of childhood swimming, fishing and camping on this river. I miss it and nature's activity along it.

Fishing Huts, Nova Scotia
Fishing Huts, Peggy's Cove, NS, Canada,
in watercolor by artist Marion Fleming.
Peggy's Cove is a small rural community located on the eastern shore of St. Margarets Bay in Nova Scotia. Marion was surely intrigued by this area as her trip produced three paintings, including one of Saint John's Anglican church. The reflections, seagulls, rocky coastline, and beautiful sky combined would have made her itch to paint.

Evening Sunflowers
Evening Sunflowers
in acrylic by artist Marion Fleming.
Sunflowers are said to represent adoration and loyalty because their heads move with the sun. Yellow is said to symbolize happiness, vitality, and intelligence. In the late nineteenth century, Vincent van Gogh painted several large canvases with sunflowers which were eventually coined as “his” flower by one of his artistic contemporaries. What a beloved and impactful flower!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Marion's original work entitled Evening Sunflowers was painted in acrylic. A closer look at the sky evidences a lot of texture which was accomplished with a palette knife. Most delightful is that as the sun is setting and two sunflowers have drooped their heads, one stalwart sunflower continues to hold its head forward while another holds its head directly to the sky. Their strength and resolve seem like signs of hope.

Late summer is a time of plentitude, even as the early summer flowers are fading. Early pie pumpkins, sunkist peppers, snap beans, and Golden Rod. The hundred-year-old clay bottle and the birdlike red blooms set off the bounty.

St. John's Anglican Church
St. John's Anglican Church in watercolor by artist Marion Fleming.
St. John’s Anglican Church in Peggy’s Cove, Nova Scotia, Canada was built in 1893-94 in the Carpenter Gothic style. This style was developed by “house-carpenters,” and includes features such as pointed arches, steep gables, and towers. Churches of this style may be found in all provinces of Canada.
Marion traveled to Peggy’s Cove and was quite taken by the appearance of St. John’s, as well as the lovely setting, the large boulders and the graceful details of the grass. A seagull figures prominently in the upper left corner of the painting; some think it represents the Holy Spirit.
The original work is painted in watercolor and nicely edits out buildings behind the church.

Homage in Tyrol
Homage in Tyrol
in watercolor by artist Marion Fleming.
Tyrol is a multi-national region located in Austria and Italy. The area is incredibly rich in history from 12,000 BC to present.
I believe what attracted Marion to this scene was the contrast between the aged and dilapidating building and the attention that has been paid to Jesus on the cross with the fresh, colorful flowers.

Snowstorm
Snowstorm
in watercolor by artist Marion Fleming.
If you maintain a bird feeder, you know the birds love to visit feeders during a heavy snowstorm. The geraniums and the window frame let you know that even though the snow is briskly falling, the birds are fed and happy, and the house is warm and cozy.

Cineraria
Cineraria

Cineraria has daisy-like blooms that last about 40 days. Some describe the plant as a living bouquet. Cineraria is native to the Canary Islands, so having one in your home (or a print on the wall) might just take you away to a beautiful island.

Do you notice the perspective of this painting? It's as though the viewer is above the house. It's a precious house, somewhat in the style of the Cape May homes, but without all the adornment. The second level balcony just begs to be a summer reading retreat. And who can't see this picture and smile at the dog patiently waiting for the conversation to end?

The beach in early September. In the distance is St. Mary by-the-Sea Retreat House. The property is owned by the Sisters of Saint Joseph in Chestnut Hill, Philadelphia. It has been a retreat house for members and others since 1909. While it is a beloved local icon, after 2021 the building is set to be demolished and the beachfront property returned to nature. St. Mary by the Sea will be missed.

Lady Ostapeck

Lady Ostapeck lived a very full and interesting life as a photographer in Otsego County, New York. A bit of an eccentric, she dressed her subjects in historic period clothing. One sitting with Lady Ostapeck ran an entire afternoon as Lady set up the background, props and dressed her clients.
This pastel captures Lady's beauty and a bit of her lively spirit. At last the photographer is the subject.
