BENNINGTON -- Most of the time they leave the gallery without the piece of art they really, really want and then don't come back.
Today they did and bought a print of the centerpiece to Brian Hewitt's "Park-McCullough House" series of oil paintings on display at Fiddlehead at Four Corners.
John and Bertilda Noble spent most of their hour in the downtown gallery Saturday night on the mezzanine looking at Hewitt's work, especially the Park-McCullough series. "Bert" fell in love with his approach to the Vermont landmark in North Bennington because of the way he uses a fisheye perspective on a diamond-orientated canvas.

The three 52-by-52 pieces are called "Fall" (main house), "Winter" (carriage barn) and "Summer" (greenhouse and gardens).
Art Gallery Dude couldn't complete a sale Saturday night and felt as if he let one get away even though phone numbers were exchanged and yadda yadda.
But then Hewitt brought a few prints of "Fall" over to the Noble's home Sunday morning ...

... and tested one on the wall above the mantle where, Bert said, it will be "the focal point of the living room. It's a conversation piece and something I'll never be tired of looking at."
They worked out the financial details as well before Brian called AGD and told him the sale price. The Nobles ambled into the gallery an hour later to pay for the print.
"It just struck me the moment I saw it," Bert said in the video below. "I love the brightness. I love the color in it. It's different. ... It's gorgeous."
John also bought his wife a dichroic glass bracelet that she eyeballed Saturday night ...
