Description
It's early evening and the sun is gilding this landscape with alluring tones of Golden color. A single stone path winds its way among Evening Primroses and toward an abandoned home in its declining years. I call it "Primrose Path".
I find that not all Primrose Paths lead to calamity, great loss, or misfortune. Instead, I see a reminiscent beauty in the layers of peeling paint, weathering boards and rusting metal, the natural progression of the past assimilating with the present.
When I see a home and its surrounding grounds in this state of disrepair, I ponder their earlier years of sheltering their former occupants. It's easy for me to visualize the property as it perhaps once was: neatly manicured and with "All Its Ducks in a Row".

Thank you very much Jack! I only wish this reduced-size image better reflected all that is seen in the full-size original painting.

Doug, it's been way too long since I've visited your beautiful gallery. I had to come and enjoy one of my favorites!
Hanne Lore Koehler
Magnificent painting of this beautiful garden scene, Doug!!! Fabulous style, technique and composition! Love those sweet little ducklings among the Primroses - must be the new family that moved in! L/F
Doug Kreuger replied:
Thank you very much Hanne! —Love your sense of humor! I have thought about cropping in on this duck family to create a separate offering.
Dave Farrow
Doug, we have an old abandoned house similar to this one in the woods over here. When the grand kids were younger, the wife and I would take them out to visit "the haunted house". You can imagine the fun we had with that one.....more gold brother....L/V
Doug Kreuger replied:
Thanks Dave! I have had many people tell me this house reminded them of one they used to live near. I was definitely going for the "gold" with this one—The early-evening sundown sort, I mean! LOL…
Ronda Broatch
Wonderful! Very rich, and beautifully composed. What a great puzzle this would make!
Doug Kreuger replied:
Thanks for your great comment Ronda! It would probably take me longer to complete this picture—as a puzzle—than it took me to paint? ((-: LOL…
Mary Machare
Doug, this is so beautiful, from the composition that leads us down the path through the primroses to the warm evening light. LF
