More About This Painting
"Painted in 1968, this is one of my favorite paintings of Dad’s. It was done of the barn of our neighbors, the Fontelieus, across the street at sunset. It was reproduced in the book Acrylic Watercolor Painting by Wendon Blake in 1970. The barn is still there attached to the old Victorian farmhouse build in 1868 but the window where the light streamed in is now boarded up. Too bad because this scene really inspired Dad. It was shown in the Bergen Museum and the Westport Art Center exhibits, and we were happy to purchase it from a collector of my father’s paintings in 2004."
