Brooklyn Victorian #2 by Nancy Herman



BROOKLYN VICTORIAN #2
6" x 8"
oil on canvas board

Although most Victorian homes were painted in earth tones, because of the era's interest in nature, there are a group of homes in San Francisco that are painted in shades of pink and purple.  They are called "Painted Ladies".  In parts of Brooklyn this tradition is exuberantly embraced as in this Ditmas Park beauty.
