The Lamplight Lane series is perhaps
my most popular celebration of the charms of rural
England. My oldest, Merritt, was five when I
painted the first "Lamplight Lane" painting; soon
she'll be a high school graduate. I even included
a small rowing skiff, named "Miss Merritt", to
symbolize the journey into life that Merritt is
embarking upon. Sunset on Lamplight Lane
refers both to the radiant sunset that bathes the
village in myriad reflections, and to the
completion of the final work in an epic series of
paintings.
