Hello, Just wanted to let you know how much I enjoy your work. I grew up in Rutland and it so nice to see familiar places look so special. On a recent visit back, I found your prints of Sunday Bandstand, City Lights and Fall On Center. I also ordered (and received) the Brandon Inn from your website. They look great and it is wonderful to have a real piece of Vermont in my current home. - Sincerely, Jeanne T.

Hi Peter, I love the painting, it's amazing!  I was planning to hang it in my bedroom as I have a lage wall but am now thinking I may change it out with something downstairs so others may enjoy it as much as I.  It was very exciting to look forward to the final product, thank you very much.  Have a great Autumn, the colors must be beautiful in your location.  Hopefully, we'll see you next year. - Regards, N.

Hello Mr. Huntoon, I live in Sugar Hill Georgia.  However, I am a native Vermonter, having grown up in Proctor.  My family still resides in Vermont, so I visit often.  For my 40th birthday last year, my mother introduced me to your work by giving me the Proctor Marble Bridge print.  I have since burchased the Band Stand and the Pittsford prints.  I love your work, and by hagnging it proudly in my home, it has given my friends a better idea of just how beautiful that little corner of the world really is.  Thanks very much!! - Sincerely, S.C.

Dear Peter, Thank you so very much for the wonderful painting you did of my father.  This was such a surprise!  I was speechless when I saw the paiting.  I think this was the very best present anyone has ever given me.  It was completely unexpected and an especially thoughtful gift.  I will treasure forever having such a special "Peter Huntoon Original" hanging in my living room. - S.M.

Hi Peter, I've lived in New Jersey for approximately seven years now, but I originate from Rutland, Vermont, where my parents still live.  Last Christmas, my parents came to New Jersey for the holiday season to visit my wife and I.  To my surprise, they had purchased one of your prints.  The print is of Downtown Rutland.  I absolutely loved the print and I immediately hung it in our office at home to remind me of my roots.  This year, my parents came to visit again, and again they surprised me with one of your prints... this time, it was the Sugar and Spice print.  My wife and I ski at Killington and Pico several times a year, and we ALWAYS have breakfast at Sugar and Spice, so this was yet another treasure for us.  Even my wife, who is originally from Philadelphia and had never been to Vermont until three years ago, immediately recognized Sugar and Spice.  Needless to say, this print is now hanging in my office as well.  I appreciate your artwork and I find it fascinating.  Your artwork remindes me of my childhood days in Vermont and all of the places I would frequent.  Your style itself, regardless of subject, reminds me of Vermont.  Watercolor...simple yet beautiful.  I plan to purchase either the Killington or Pico print in the near future to add to my collection.  I just thought I would say hello and tell you how much I really enjoy your work.  I look forward to seeing more of it. - J. 

Hi Peter, Our painting arrived today! It is in great condition and we are happy to be hanging it.  It is a beautiful reminder of our visits.  Take care and thank you for the excellent packing and shipping of our Huntoon original! - N.

Hi Peter, I am delighted with my new painting.  We arrived home last evening and couldn't wait to take it out of the packaging.  It was and is perfect.  The painting will have a special place in our home. - Thanks again, N.M.

Hello,  I just wanted to say thank you.  I recently purchased your "Peak Conditions" framed print at the Cortina Inn and its beautiful; came right home and hung it in my living room.  Your work is really beautiful.  I can't wait to gaze upon my print in the days to come.  I'll be adding your website to my favorites list! - Sincerely, S.C.; Mansfield, MA

Peter,  Thank you so much for your prompt reply following our visit to Vermont.  We were delighted to come upon your work in our travels.  My husband and I are both art lovers and were drawn to the fresh style of your work.  We have always supported local artists in our area and especially enjoy the "natural" art of New England.  Again, thank you for the joy of viewing your work.  Good luck with your new pieces.  I will be in touch. - K.M.

Peter,  Went to visit my parents this weekend and they had one of your prints on the wall (a friend sent it to them as a Christmas gift).  I absolutely LOVED it!  Your talent just keeps getting better and better.  Your really do have a special gift.  I'll be stopping back at your site to order soon.  Just wanted to let you know how blown away I was by your art.  Its fantastic! - L.

Dear Peter,  Just wanted to tell you that the painting arrived.  I love it, and it is already at the framers.  I can't thank you enough; it is even more wonderful in person!  You shipped it so beautifully too- it arrived in pristine shape.  Peter, have a great Vermont spring, and please keep me in mind with your future creations. - Warm regards, L.B.

Good afternoon Peter, first off I would like to say we saw some of your work at Hallmark in the Diamond Run Mall and just fell in love and are looking forward to your show.  The colors...the shades...wow...thank you :). - Thank you so very much, L. &. M. B.

Dear Peter,  This is just to let you know that the prints of the Paw House arrived safely in Reno yesterday.  I'm thrilled to have them and will be forwarding one to my sister in Tennessee in time for Christmas.  Thank you again for getting these to me.  It's so great to have a picture of a home where our family has so many fond memories. - Happy Holidays to you and your family, B.D.

Peter, Wow!  What a beautiful perspective on Poultney!  We're absolutely delighted.  Thank you Peter, for your generous help and lending your talents to what we hope will prove to be a great step forward for Poultney! - P. 

Hello Mr. Huntoon,  I am writing to let you know how much my wife and I love your work. We live in North Clarendon with our two kids and we have a couple of your prints in our home.  We eventually would like to fill our home with your work.  Keep up the great work. - D.R.

Hi Peter, My fiance and all of his groomsmen are graduate of Green Mountain College and this was just the perfect gift for one of them.  The watercolor of Main Street Poultney was also lovely! - Thanks, C.

Dear Peter,  Thanks for the update...just wanted to let you know how much my husband and I love your beautiful watercolors.  We had found the print we just ordered from you last summer in Manchester, and my husband offered it as a gift to his sister who had fallen in love with it.  We framed it and are giving it to her as a gift for Christmas, but we found that we didn't really want to part with it, so I was so happy to find your website!  This copy of the print is a surprise for my husband for Christmas, and I was lucky enough to find the same frame we got for his sister.  He is going to be very surprised and happy when he finds that we don't have to be without the print!  I expect we my be ordering again from you.  Happy Holidays! - E.E.

Dear Mr. Huntoon,  I wanted to write and tell you how much I enjoy your work.  My sister and her husband gave me and my mother two different watercolor prints for Christmas.  I was very surprised and I know right away that I was looking at downtown Rutland.  My mother's print is the other view of downtown with the Opera House in it.  This print is very very sentimental to me.  It actually brought a tear to my eye.  You see, your painting also has the mountain in the background.  The mountain my grandparents lived on for so long.  I intend to purchase another one of your prints for my home and just have to decide which one.  Your work brings back so many good memories.  Thank you for that. - Sincerely, M.T. (A Vermonter by blood)

Peter:  Your work is such an inspiration to those of us who are native Vermonters.  Each of your prints signifies some point in our life whether it be the band concert with grandparents, picking out our tree at the Christmas Tree Barn, or taking in the view of fall while walking up Center Street with my daughter.  Thank you for capturing moments that we can now remember forever thanks to your prints.  My mom was thorougly excited to know she would be getting this for Mother's Day.  She collects your work and it is proudly displayed throughout her dining room. - Thank you again, A. & P. G.

Dear Peter,  I am delighted with the watercolor I purchased from you, showing Killington.  It has such a happy feeling with the colors and techniques you used.  Already it is hanging in my bedroom above the fireplace.  It will delight me for many years to come. - Thank you, D.W.

Hi Peter,  Thanks again for the wonderful painting.  It is being enjoyed by one and all.  Richard has been showing and talking about it to everyone.  Just wanted to let you know how awesome everyone thinks it is. - D.

Hi Peter, Two watercolorists in Maui love your art work.  If you ever come to Maui we would love you to do a workshop or demo for Maui Watercolorists Association.  Your work would really be loved here too.  Any chance you'd like to pain here in Maui with us?  I was referred to you when buying cheese from a nice man last XMAS from Vermont Country Store and took me awhile to contact you.  I saved your site and love it. - In Aloa Spirit, B.S.O.

Thanks! I lived in Rutland and worked in Middlebury for a couple of years.. bought "Fall on Center" at Art in the Park awhile back, and I think the Middlebury print will be a great companion for it in my livingroom!  Looking forward to it... - M.H.

Hello Mr. Huntoon, Stopped by Hunter and Lea Galleries in Ludlow this weekend.  And I was so disappointed to see that your "Ice Skaters" was sold.  I tell you, I really loved that -- and, if I may take the opportunity to say it -- I really love your style and body of work.  I picked up a limited edition print of "Our Town," and I'm considering purchasing an original work. - All the best to you, D.M.

Peter, I have visited your website so many times and am always overwhelmed with the brilliant colors in your paintings!  I got a late start paiting watercolor (age 64) and find ordinary watercolors so boring.  I would love to imitate (the best form of flattery they say) your method of painting.  I could as so many questions, but will contain myself. - Thanks, N.G.

We are pleased to be a collector.  We have already mounted it in our living room in Andover and expect to enjoy it for years to come.  Interestingly, it is next to a Kandinsky (alas, not an original) and the colors of your work and his are strikingly similar.  In any event, we are pleased with our acquisition and hope to add to it in the future. - M. & S. H.

Just to let you know, my mother and I discovered your watercolors at Sugar & Spice in Mendon. Our family used to live in Killington and we felt these really captured the area in a beautiful way. We purchased two that day - I have your print of the Killington basin here with me in the midwest as a reminder of home - and this one is a Christmas gift for my stepfather, who is good friends with the man who owns Pip's Barber Shop (in the foreground of City Light). Your work is not only lovely for its artistic merit, but for the great memories of home that they bring us all. - AP
