Hope Farm

Purchase Info

Three versions of a farm in Hope New Jersey. I think the balance of values on the third is probably the more successful. I was experimenting with the opacity of the red barn, I thought the fully saturated version at the top would be best, but I think it might be too strong.
Hope was settled in 1769 by Moravians, who remained until 1808. The Moravians, a Protestant Group, believed in spreading the word of Christianity throughout the world, developed the Town of Hope as part of this ministry to the Indians. The winding, hilly, roads are surrounded by small, picturesque farms like this one, nestled in an emerald valley. Surrounding names allude to the Moravian history including the town of Tranquility and Shades of Death road.
