Memory 6
Oil on board, 6"x6"
$125.00 + $6.00 shipping in US.
SOLD
This is another of my "Memory" series. I introduced the first-- a painting of my daughter wading in a stream--on the May 21 post. It may seem like the wrong time of the year to be painting snowscapes, but I felt compelled to do this one. It's enjoyable and challenging working from these old poor-quality Polaroids I took many years back and trying to recreate my memories of what it felt like to be there. These old sheds collapsed long ago.

Hi Don,
This painting is wonderful! I traveled for business much of my life, many times in rural areas. I always thought that the old barns and wood buildings seem to whisper their history. You have captured that feeling perfectly in this painting.
