The Red Steps
The Red Steps - 14" x 11"
My children and I walked by this house many times in the summer, on the way to a near-by playground. Actually, it is part of a row of townhouses. I imagine it must be fairly old, but I always admire how well-kept it is. The shutters, the siding, the flower pots, the garden and, of course, the red steps all looking their best in the hot afternoon sun.
Too often I see character houses such as these with development signs out front, soon to be demolished. If you see a strange woman rushing around the neighbourhood taking photos of old houses, it’s probably just me.

Hello Maxine! I very much admire your paintings – they are lovely creations. I grew up in a little hamlet called Tomahawk in Alberta and we have Wolodko’s here. I was wondering if you were related.
Cheers to painting and creating!
Hi Kerri. I’m glad you like my work. Yes, my husband and I are originally from Alberta and his parents grew up in Tomahawk! Do you still live in Alberta?
