Beating the Showers Home–a spring scene. Somewhat inspired by barns at Leete’s island, near Guilford, Connecticut.

This is a 1988 snapshot of the Noah Bacon house in Kensington, mentioned in earlier posts, that inspired Timberlost Tea Party and Favorite Places. You can just about see the lilacs blooming in front.  There is an earlier painting also featuring this house at http://riversidefineart.com.

Allegories

Allegory of Spring

Among my mother’s lesser known works are several allegories. An allegory is a work of art, in this case a painting, with a hidden meaning. Such pieces are common in art history; for example, Michelangelo’s sculpture of Night personified. At one time, Charlotte did several designs for use on china plates, showing the four seasons. Above, you see Spring. There was another version of Spring, never used, that had blooming bridal veil vines for hair. As in Botticelli’s Venus, flowers follow the figure, and little animals rejoice at Spring’s coming. Not far away in real life!
