Description
I have always wanted to paint this house since I saw an old black and white photograph of it. I was astonished to discover it was built in Manchester-by-the-sea, MA somewhere we visit frequently. Then my heart fell when I read that it had been demolished in 1929! Who could have...why!? I was heartsick for days. I did read that someone up in Maine had taken the plans and rebuilt it on Swan's Island so I felt better, but still very sad. I decided to bring it back to life in its original form and location in my work. Having no idea what its true colors were, I did take artistic license. I would have loved to have been a guest here, spent an afternoon lounging on the porch, driving through the porte cochere....a girl can dream. Magnificent architecture needs to be preserved. It is our heritage.
