Outskirts of East Gloucester — Fine Art

Outskirts of East Gloucester sits as part of Childe Hassam work on New England coastal towns. The image shows houses and trees along a street near the shore, with buildings turning toward open sky. Childe Hassam painted many town scenes with quick brush strokes and bright daylight.

The fine art print sits inside a frame with a back panel. The matte paper holds the paint colours without shine under a lamp, so the sky and building tones stay even. The frame sits flat against the wall and you can tape it level with one hand.

On a kitchen wall near the sink, the street buildings come into view while you wash dishes. From the table you notice the tree shapes near the houses and the sky band above them. You see the paint strokes most when you stand close.
