'Albert (Hitchcock!) and his 'garage' - 2 Hurricane Katrina survivors'

mixed media

20 x 24

"Albert my neighbour is a WW2 bomber pilot veteran. He survived that and Hurricane Katrina but the home he was born in was completely destroyed in the August 05 storm, however his 'garage' is still standing and I couldn't wait to paint it. The painting was finished (I thought) but just then Albert appeared, in his 'Hitchcock' way and he really completed the scene!" MP
