Description
I'm always looking for places like this one; old barns, old buildings or old houses that speak eloquently of a time past. This old house was priceless. It had been abandoned for long enough that the trees and underbrush were beginning to cover it up. It seems to be fading into the natural surroundings. It will soon collapse in upon itself and be gone. I'm always moved by these scenes. There was life here: kids playing, Mom or Grandma cooking in the kitchen, Dad or Grandpa doing chores in the yard, neighbors stopping by. I wonder about that family and what happened to them, when they left and why. And, why no one followed them to maintain or renew the place. Maybe this painting serves to "renew the place" for just a bit in our imaginations. Maybe too, it challenges us to look at scenes like this with a more understanding and artful eye.
