‘In Memory’

This painting started out with an altogether different feel in my preliminary sketch. As I worked on the siding on the building, it began to look more and more neglected and abandoned to me, kind of forgotten in time. The once pretty garden grew weedy and I added the abandoned and rusting truck reflected in the glass of the window. Fence falling down, a single Bluebird perches on it. The house is empty and dark now. Who lived here? Where did they go? Will they be be back? Just who came by to pick the flowers, we may never know, but I think they left them in memory of what once was.

 Just who came by to pick the flowers, we may never know, but I think they left them 'In Memory' of what once was. Fine art painting by Ellen Leigh.

I’m still in the process of finishing this one with a custom painted frame before it is hung in the dining room while it waits for just the right home.
