Westerly RI

oil on wood 60.7 x 60.7 cm

On a short visit to the States, I stayed in the small New England town of Westerly, Rhode Island. The architecture, smells and vegetation are all evocative of the region.The soft summer evening, the late-setting sun and the ordinary backyard combined to bring back memories of my childhood, when I would spend my summers at my grandparents’ house in Rhode Island. I painted the moment for nostalgia.
