The Memory Painting

The memory painting of the home of my grandparents keeps on developing, as it sits in my studio where I see it every day.  Funny how that happens.  It's becoming more ethereal.  18x24 inches, oil on linen canvas.

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.

Memory Drawing

My first pass at making a memory drawing of my grandparent's house.  That's 'memory', as in going back to the past to recover what is lost.  12x16 inches, pencil on paper.

Grandfather's Garage and Exhibition

The above is a 'memory' drawing of my grandfather's garage/shed, where I would always find him in the warmer months when I was a kid. It no longer exists, except in my mind. I hope to turn it into a painting or two.

That's all I did this weekend, besides hang an exhibition of thirty pastels and drawings of landscapes of Williamstown, MA in the Milne Public Library.
