A Memory Painting of the Old House


Here's a painting I've been working on for the last few days: a memory painting of the home of my grandparents.  I dedicate it to my sister Anne.  She also loved this old house, as did all of our large family who visited it many times or lived there as children and young adults. 18x24 inches, oil on linen canvas.
