home again

another view of home. this is what it would look like if you were way up top in one of the redwood trees in the back yard.

home

I never get tired of painting the house where I grew up. We have a beautiful koi pond in the back yard.

Perfect Day for Bananafish

I love this snippet of the conversation between Muriel and her mother in A Perfect Day for Bananafish:

"Did he try any of that funny business with the trees?"

"I said he drove very nicely, Mother. Now, please. I asked him to stay close to the white line, and all, and he knew what I meant, and he did. He was even trying not to look at the trees-you could tell. Did Daddy get the car fixed, incidentally?"

I made this little painting for the quote .
