This is a painting titled “The Field” by T. Peters. It was painted in 1987. I know this because it is written on the back of the canvas, in pen. I think it is a very beautiful painting. I bought it from an old woman (T. Peters, I assume) in New York City. She had a small display set up along the wall that divides Central Park from 5th Avenue. Assuming I purchased it the same year it was painted, I would have been 10 or 11. I don’t know how old the old woman was, but I guess I wanted to encourage her artistic endeavors. She told me that the building in the painting is not a house, but a shed, because it does not have any windows. The painting had a white mat around it and instead of having a piece of glass or plastic protecting its front, it was covered carefully in saran wrap. For many years, it hung on the wall next to my bed. Just recently I had a new, proper mat cut for it and framed it in a proper frame. It is hanging by my bed again.
the shed kind of looks like something that would be found in the world of super mario brothers (which i suppose would have come out pretty near to 1987 or perhaps a bit before). i wonder if t. peters ever played that game. it is a very nice painting in any case.
I love this painting and would have purchased it in a second. I think it leaves a lot to the imagination. It gives me as sense of tranquility.
I too bought a painting from an old lady on Central Park in the eighties. On the back of the Saran wraped pastel dated 1980. It is entitled “Il Neige” and the follow label, hand typed, also on the back said, “T. Peters, American educated in France, Third generation of artists - paints flowers, people, landscapes, abstracts etc. in a dreamy elegant stlye.”
I will gladly exchange photos with those who have her works
