"My Old Home on The Rock" - Sold
About 20 years ago my mother-in-law, Blanche Vatcher, started asking me to paint her old home where she grew up in Port aux Basque, NL. The thing is, I never started painting until Jan 2001, 18 years ago. Up until that time I had done a few tole paintings but knew nothing of painting fine art.
Walt gave me a painting kit for Christmas in Dec 2000 and the second painting I did was for her birthday in Feb 2001. Well I can tell you that it was nothing to write home about but the gears had started turning and I couldn't put down the paint brush.
All these years she has asked me to do a new one (the first one was incorrect on many areas) and finally I had more information on the house so I decided to give it one more shot.
This is the result. The little girl by the fence is Blanche and the boy behind the fence is her brother Austin Colley.
