Limited Edition Giclee Print By Jill Tattersall 12" x 8"
About forty years ago I was driving behind Carrot Bay to visit a friend, when I saw this old house. I stopped around the corner and did a quick sketch of it from memory. I drove by again on my way home and saw a father sitting nearby, talking to his little boy. This was a relatively rare sight from a time when fathers were so often out at sea or working on other islands, and it stayed in my memory so when I came across the sketch of the old house recently, the idea for this painting took shape.
