Cooper’s Shed is the first in a short series of paintings I am doing on the small, nearly ghost town, of Cooper’s Falls. I introduced Cooper’s Falls and the grandson of it’s founder Mr. Frank Cooper to my blog readers in August. This is a shed that sits behind the old Community Hall across from Mr. Cooper’s childhood home and the old store. The building is nearly absorbed by the forest behind it, but still stands strong - much like the town it resides in. I hope to share the paintings with Mr. Cooper when they are all complete.
In late 2009, I had the opportunity to visit inside the General Store with Mr. Cooper himself. The two part blog post is here.
