the uncles
$500.00
Oil on canvas, 18x24 inches
The traditional brick houses, large solid shapes standing steady among everything around them. They remind me of the solid relatives we would visit when I was a kid, so I called this painting “the uncles”. I passed by this spot 6 days a week for 10 years when I owned a frame shop in Hockessin, DE, and I decided to do this painting, which shows the houses on a cold winter morning. I wondered about the people living in the houses and the lives they led.
Framed in a dark wood frame that goes well with the dark shapes in the painting.
