MARTHA’S FANTASY


Painting completed in: 1977

When my wife Martha was a little girl she had a fantasy of being grown up and living in a Victorian House like the house we used to have in Austin. While standing in the front yard one morning I noticed her looking out thru the front door glass. The patterns reflected by the tree branches on the window gave the scene a dream like quality that seemed to capture "Martha's Fantasy" that became a reality.
