"I was intrigued by the simplicity and inherent beauty of these homes. Note the texture of the white bricks captured in the light and the reflections in the windows captured in the red house, which looks abandoned, least for a time. Since this picture was photographed, the shadow of the brick fireplace has been made more purple. Shane suggested that. He said that with that addition it would look just like a Hopper. He liked it 'very much.'"
