The Pink House ~SOLD Somebody liked this!
12 in. x 12 in., acrylic on cradled panel
It's a colorful, abandoned house on the edge of the salt marsh in Newburport, MA on the road going out to Plum Island, and a landmark to multitudes of people who live in or visit the area. It hasn't been lived in for decades, and a little while back the local government wanted to pull it down. The people of Newburyport responded immediately in protest and moved to save The Pink House. It's been photographed, painted, drawn, cartooned and become a fixture, despite its deteriorating roof, siding and paint. Here's my hot, hazy, high summer portrait of the familiar, glowing, retro manse basking in sun amid the long, overgrown grasses and shrubs, still tethered to an old utility pole high in the salty air.
