68. Backyard Winter

Donald Hazen Brown Archive By Don Brown

2001 ALLENDALE, NJ - After a snow fall one winter evening, I walked across the street and photographed the backs of the houses in our neighborhood. The backs of houses have always intrigued me. Unlike the front of houses, the rear of a house is less pretentious, and thus, I suggest, more telling of the life within the house itself. I intentionally surrounded the buildings in the painting with cool colors, in the sky, the roofs, and the snow, to make the warm colors emanating from inside feel inviting and cozy. I painted this snowy evening at dusk. I wanted the the lights seen in the windows of the houses to convey a sense of warmth as darkness approached and night was setting in. When our journey takes us through moments of darkness, we need to feel the warmth of God's benevolent caring, as symbolized in the lighted windows of the homes. The warmest of all colors, red, is seen in the red shovel outside the back porch reminding us that even out in the cold and dark, there is always some sign of God' s love available.
