"Little White House"

1994, acrylic on canvas; 11”x 14”.
In the private collection of Joy Torelli, Maryland.

The Little White House was painted on location in the charming town of Glen Echo, Maryland. The sunny porch, open door and three plastic chairs suggest a homey, welcoming atmosphere to this humble home. Simple lines, rock steps and untended flowers and shrubs reveal that you have found a retreat from glamour and expectations. A window within proves the three-dimensionality of a cozy home where you might enjoy the smells of a wood fire or homemade bread. Come sit a spell with me. Put your feet up on the railing and relax.
