Description

This is a painting of the house where I grew up, in New Jersey. The painting was a Christmas gift given to my parents not long after my dad retired and my parents moved to California. I resisted the urge to rearrange anything for the sake of composition, and painted it exactly as it looked on a typical day in October, with the fall colors.

There are many wonderful memories rolled up in this simple painting (at least for me) :)

I've owned my current house for 15 years, but in many ways, I will probably always think of this place - and those times - as my true home.

I'm being a bit sentimental, but what can I say? Today (as I post this) is my birthday :D

Paintings that look just like photographs are uncanny. One I added to my favorites gallery.
