Harper Blanchet

My abstract paintings are sky paintings. They are meditations. Some major influences in my work are my photography, the sky, house painting and the work of abstract painter Carl Bates who I met at my Pinch of Rock cabin in Sharon, Conn. in 1971. Carl moved to The Prickly Mountain artistic community in East Warren, Vermont in 1974 and I later followed. I spent many hours at Carl’s studio (next to the community pond) watching him paint and photographing him. My one room cabin was located in the adjoining meadow with a 180° view of the crest line of the Green Mountains and this is where I began painting on canvas in 1980.
