A. B. Jackson (VA, 1925-1981), "Mothers Day"
acrylic on canvas, signed at lower left, presented in a gilt frame.
SS 16.5 x 13.5 in.; DOA 25.5 x 22 in.


This painting may possibly be from Jackson's "Porch People Series." He lived in a section of Norfolk, Virginia known as "Ghent" and many of his works portrayed people in this area sitting on their porches. They were unaware that Jackson was watching them from his car and capturing them on film for later reincarnations on canvas.
