An original watercolor by Hardie Gramatky titled Country Road, (Westport), c. 1950s. This painting is also available as a giclée fine art print on premium watercolor paper.
"Just look up the road from my childhood home on Roseville Road in Westport, CT, and you can still see this scene, although the barn has been changed into a fancy home and the road is a well-traveled commuter route now. It's so good to have this watercolor to remember `how life was'."
"I'm proud that this painting is featured in a 2005 exhibit at the new Pasadena Museum of California Art curated by Gordon McClelland."
