Hilltop
(Saugus, Massachusetts)
5 x 7 inches
acrylic on cradled panel
It always seems like it is time to do another Hilltop painting!
The Hilltop seems to be one of my most in-demand images. I suspect that is because it was such a well-loved place that was around for so long - and then fairly recently closed their doors for good. At every show I attend with one of my Hilltop pieces, I hear so many stories about the special family get-togethers that were held there....the special dinners, birthdays, anniversaries, family reunions, rehearsal dinners, etc. - everyone seems to have a Hilltop memory. Not too many restaurants have such a long history of making memories for so many people!
This is also why I love this series of local signs and buildings that I have been working on. Not only are they fun to paint, but I really enjoy hearing the stories that people share, their memories connected to these places, the connections that people have to these places.
I do these pieces by commission as well- so let me know if there is a special place you would like me to memorialize in a painting.
