OG artist Jack Bredin: “A Cottage by the Sea.”

July 25, 2017 by Blogfinger

“A Cottage By the Sea” by Jack Bredin. This is an Ocean Grove scene, and Jack continues his series of paintings of our town. Photo by Rob Bredin. July, 2017.

Jack Bredin continues his series of Ocean Grove scenes.  His paintings of our town are famous, and lucky is the art lover who has one hanging in his home.

Editor’s note: You can feel the life of the seashore in this painting by Jack. The breezes are blowing the flag and the trees, and you can smell the ocean.   The young couple are perhaps planning their evening.  Maybe they will go to a dance. Do they still have dances? Well, let’s assume that they do, and he may approach others, but he wants to have the last dance with her; and then he’ll take her to Days for an ice cream soda.

And that’s where the cottage by the sea comes in, because he hopes to take her there, under the watchful eye of her parents, of course, and they’ll sit on the porch and maybe there will be some music in the air.  Which brings us to our song below:

PATRICK RIGUELLE AND JOHN TERRA  with a song made famous by the Drifters in 1960.

    An extraordinarily beautiful painting depicting the essence of Ocean Grove. Love the shadowing and the fact that Jack Bredin chose to depict the side of the cottage. Unique and serene!

    This is a beautiful painting. It certainly captures Ocean Grove

    This is fabulous. Are Mr. Brendin’s works available in print reproduction format? Or are his originals available for purchase? Though they probably beyond my budget though….
