"Ah, how things change. I love this watercolor with a very Japanese influence of an old part of Westport along Hills Point Road near the beach. Since it was painted 60+ years ago, this small house has been torn down and a huge house and wall constructed. This is the only place along this stretch of road where a house is on the water side of the road."
