A view of great-great great Uncle George's cabin that still stands along the banks of the Shenandoah River, Virginia. The painting shows the children being brought back from school by their father in his 'flat boat' because the bridge to the schoolhouse upriver had been destroyed during the ongoing Civil War. Their mother had just finished washing clothes as described in a poem that was found in the cabin. (photo of 2nd picture) Cabin was built in 1752 and has been in the family ever since, although it now has vertical siding and even electricity. The challenge of this painting was to recreate it as we thought it would have looked in those days.
Original Painting Size: 24” × 30" Medium: Oils on Board Created: 1999
