This painting shows a big red-brick house with white trim, surrounded by trees and a grassy yard. The sky is pale, and the trees have yellow-green leaves. A path leads up to the front door, and there’s a fence along the bottom edge. The artist signed it in the corner—"Hooper, 1941"—and wrote the name *Sudbrooke House, Petersham*. The brushstrokes are loose, almost sketchy, giving it a quick, impressionistic feel. If you like this style, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum for more works like it.
