Gainsboro; Gainsboro Road; Patton Avenue; Hughes Funeral Home; Martins Fish Market; David Ramey.

Drawing of Hughes Funeral Home on Gainsboro Road. The funeral home has "H.F.H" written in both windows. There is a hearse outside, blocking the rest of the front door from being seen. Another hearse is next to the building, between the funeral home and another business. This business has "Fish Mkt" and an image of a fish in the window. It is likely Martin's Fish Market. A person in a white apron stands in the doorway. A sign that reads "Barber Shop" is next to the fish market. On the opposite side of the street is a green area. There are people walking down the sidewalk next to it. Two people are sitting on a bench next to a green in this green space, as a third person stands next to them, pointing at something. There is also a person walking a bike. Houses and streets can be seen in the background, as well as the mountains and the setting sun. "1953 Gainsboro Rd Hugh Funeral Home Patton Ave" is written on the bottom right corner. Signed by artist and dated 1990.

Story in Gainsboro Going into North East. Displayed in the Taubman Museum of Art Exhibit 2023-2024. "Gainsboro Comuniety Hughs undertaker Shop and fishmarket" written on back. "13" with a circle around it written on back.
