The Center of My Neighborhood



Just before Christmas, I finished and delivered another house painting, this one to my neighbors The Hoggards. Maybe I'm getting a little better at these house paintings, but this one gave me less trouble than the any of the other three I've done.

This one is also a historic home. When we first moved our family into this neighborhood, the Hoggards were among the first to welcome us. Their kids hung out with our kids. We sometimes attended their cookouts and parties. The Hoggards' front porch, which figures prominently in this painting, is the de facto center of the neighborhood. 

They are good people and I enjoyed having the opportunity to capture their home on canvas.
