Suburban Life No. 9 by Josephine Townsend

Artist Statement

Suburban Life

This series celebrates our leafy streets, with diverse greens of abundant trees and shrubs. The many earthy shades of red, orange, yellow and brown suggesting the bricks of the houses. Each work is unique and expresses a slightly different perspective on suburban life.
