Classic Novel

Catcher in the Rye

Inheriting land at Needwood in Maryland at an early age, Outerbridge Horsey - yes, that was his name - about 1839, determined not just to farm it, but to establish a distillery. His initial operations appear to have been small with mainly local whiskey sales, in keeping with the Maryland farmer-distiller traditions of that era. Horsey’s method of aging his whiskey was unusual for the times and brought fame to his operation. He sent barrels via ship around Cape Horn to San Francisco and then by railroad back to Maryland for bottling. His theory was that sloshing around inside barrels on the high seas mellowed and aged the whiskey in beneficial ways that sedentary storing in warehouses failed to do.

the cather in the rye

I've always wanted to see what Rye looks like at dusk, and this year I got the opportunity for a walk around the town as night fell. One view that I caught just right was looking West along Church Street, which I've recreated here in oil on a 16x12 inch board. I normally paint wet into wet, but to get the high contrast between the colours of the buildings I've had to allow layers to dry at times. So this painting has taken over two weeks to complete.

Another view painted from my trips to Rye. This small (8x8 inch) oil painting is from the very top of Lion Street, with the last shop, right outside the church door. With the bulk of the church to the South its a shady passage, but you get interesting effects from the light that makes it there.

The Catcher in the Rye is a novel by American author J. D. Salinger that was partially published in serial form 1945–46 before being novelized in 1951. Originally intended for adults, it is often read by adolescents for its themes of angst and alienation, and as a critique of superficiality in society.
