Local artist issues limited edition print For Remsen artist Martha Deming recent storms have recalled memories of hours and days spent carefully observing snowplows at work. Gathering resource material for her painting, "...And Miles To Go, Christmas Day 2002," meant waiting in the snow and cold to photograph the plow as it crested the hill in front of her James Road home as well as visiting the Town Barn to talk with the drivers and study details of the plows up close and personal. Her efforts culminated in the watercolor painting, which now hangs in the meeting room of the Remsen Town Hall, donated to the Town by the artist in December of 2003. The painting reflects Deming's long-standing appreciation for all the folks who are out there in the storms day or night and the powerful machines they drive, keeping the roads clear for the rest of us through our North Country winters. ÊIn response to popular interest in the painting, limited edition prints and note cards are now available, printed by Brodock Press of Utica, NY and available at Adirondack Art in Barneveld and the Fynmore Studio and Gallery in Boonville and New Hartford. This is the first time Deming's work has been available in limited edition prints.
