Winsor Manor

Little girls grow up to be beautiful young women. I’m beginning to see that in my own family, and that’s why Winsor Manor – the painting I’ve created to honor the birth of my third daughter – isn’t the charming little dollhouse cottage I painted for Merritt and Chandler. This is the romantic manor house Winsor may one day share with her Prince Charming.

Winsor Manor is ablaze with welcoming lights; I want family, friends, and collectors to feel comfortable here. On behalf of my new daughter, I invite you in for a cup of tea. And, if you’d like, you may take your tea and cake out into the fragrant shelter of Lilac Gazebo, the lovely garden structure I plan as the third painting in the Winsor Manor trio.

As we enter the grounds, the great house looms before us, its sweeping gables form a dramatic “W” – a tribute to Winsor of course! I’ve hidden many W’s and N’s about the house and grounds in honor of Winsor and her mother, my wife, Nanette. For those of you who like a challenge, the small numbers beside my signature totals the number of N’s (4) and W’s (26) hidden throughout the painting and, coincidentally, is the birthdate of Winsor: April 26th. Happy hunting from both Winsor and me!
