House of Seven Gables (Salem, MA)
Well here is another Salem scene. The famous House of Seven Gables . I finally got to tour it a few weeks back. I am also reading the novel by Hawthorne so I felt the need to paint it with a moody twilight atmosphere. I love the work of the Victorian painter Atkinson Grimshaw, and I was trying to get that feeling in this one.

Wow! very moody and yet not dark, its very colorful.
nice feel about your work, Dennis...I can sense the air which is important in scenes not so much for realism as for REAL'ness..
like this one, caught my eye...your Pierce Island piece has nice light as well!!! Good stuff...
I really like this one. You've handled the tree in front of the house really well - it really adds to the air of mystery
Wonderful rendering and atmosphere. Gives me the willies!
