Charlotte Street is a block in from the ocean front road, in the old center of the town. Today it is squarely in the tourist zone, with T-shirt shops, fudge purveyors, and inti...

Something of a frustrating, mystery painting.......oil on canvas, 36" by 23 1/2" (44" by 31 1/2" framed), apparently unsigned, probably American but could also be European, the subject a view onto a small inner courtyard or air shaft, seen through an interior doorway. The work certainly exhibits a modernist touch in some spiky passages in the vegetation, and the choice of red/orange color contrasting with the other more somber tones. It could possibly be cut down from an originally larger canv...
