Mr. Gilmore’s View – June-July 2014

This exhibit was inspired by my wife Kathleen’s meeting and her re-telling of noted artist Mr. Horace Gilmore’s inspirational stories and visions of the Peacham Landscape.  Kathleen met Mr. Gilmore in the last months of his life and she describes afternoon drives along back roads throughout the surrounding hills and villages, returning, inevitably to the top of the Peacham cemetery hill for a visit.  There, pondering the vista of the farms on Roy or Mack Mountains, streams and hills and valleys below stretching to distant Harvey’s Lake, Mr. Gilmore proclaimed that “this” was his view.  It was then and so it remains today.  It is my hope only to interpret this wonderful vision.  Edward Kadunc
