~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Virginia Strom Precourt’s studio was nestled in the woods of Dover, Massachusetts, a suburban Boston town that was her home for the last 45 years of her life. But when she wanted a walk in full-on early-morning light, she would hop in her car and head to a sumptuous reserve. She and Iris, her Shih Tzu companion, would walk and sit. Walk and sit. Walk and sit. And, on rare mornings, they would catch sight of another family out for a stroll.
