By JAY HAMBURGER The Park Record If Park City has an Inspiration Point, a place that attracts artists with their paints and brushes or professional photographers weighed down with their various cameras and lenses, it is along the S.R. 224 entryway. As drivers heading into Park City on the state highway approach, the white barn and the acres of fields of the McPolin Farm spread across their windshields. It marks the entry to Park City and a largely undeveloped swath of land separating Park City from the bustling corridor through the Snyderville Basin. The scene is a pastoral welcome to Park City set against a mountainous backdrop. Park City leaders long ago recognized the picturesque view, acquiring the historic property in 1990 in what remains perhaps City Hall's most beloved conservation purchase. Artists and professional photographers have for decades been drawn to the McPolin Farm. Some create their images in the summer, with a lush green background contrasting starkly with the white paint of the barn. Others want the blazing colors of the fall aspen leaves in the background. The winter offers them a snowy scene befitting a place in the mountains like Park City. The McPolin Farm is almost a required subject matter for artists or professional photographers in Park City. They are regularly seen with their easels or cameras on the farm grounds or on the side of the state highway. Their customers seek out the images, they say.

They are perpetually for sale in Main Street galleries as an iconic image of Park City. The portfolios of artists and photographers in the Park City area include repeated but dramatically different works with the McPolin Farm as the subject matter. Some have created images year after year, seeing something new to sharpen or soften each time. "Its setting speaks to people," says Liza Simpson, a member of the Park City Council who works with a group known as the Friends of the Farm, adding, "You could stand at the barn and close your eyes halfway and imagine people herding cows in to be milked." Every angle is interesting Patricia Smith most recently put paintbrush to canvas with the McPolin Farm as her subject in the middle of the last decade. But Smith was probably among the first professional artists who painted an image of the farm, starting in an era when the Park City ski industry was in its formative years.
