A portrait of Eric Sloane by David Armstrong (CT,

A portrait of Eric Sloane by David Armstrong (CT, PA 1947-1998). Criticized as "too somber", Armstrong countered that "Eric was an unbelievably hard worker. He painted every day, morning to night. People didn't see him struggling, wincing, staring out the window. He was never satisfied with his work." Notice how Armstrong included that ever-important sliver of the New England landscape, visible through the window. Notice, too, how Armstrong rendered the clouds as an homage to his friend and mentor.
