Some of my Original Olde Philadelphia's which have been such a joy to paint over the past years! I love bringing the "past back to life" |
| "On a Philly Snow Day circa 1924 " Original Watercolor Image Size: approximately 22' x 30" This painting will be made into prints more info to come contact me if you are interested in a print of this original painting (above) |
This original took 6 months to paint! I looked at many old
photographs from roughly the 1910 time period.
In this print look close and you can see:
City Hall (clock reads 10:07am),
Many street signs for: Forrest theater, painless dentistry,
automat, Linton's lunch, chocolates,Cinco cigars, Saludo
coffee, C. Schmidt & Sons Brewing Co, cafe, dress shop,
Evans drugs, for rent signs, tile supply, talking machines,
trattoria, restaurant
Look close again and you will see -
Shops on the street that include:
The Regal Shoe ($3.50 a pair), Horn & Hardart Baking Co. &
Lunch Rooms (partly taken from one of the original H&H in
Philly), a Bargain Pawn shop, Your Photo While U Wait shop,
a United Cigar shop. (cigar shops were all over Philly)
Plus a John Wanamaker delivery truck, two trolleys,
horse-drawn vehicles, motor cars, many (60+) children &
adults - one child looking out a window!
Also, if you look closely you will see a woman with a long
skirt carrying her basket of laundry - who thought the wash
would never get done! having raised three children!!
now grown - she is in most of my Olde Philadelphia paintings
eternally carrying that basket of laundry!
(she represent me - the artist - children all grown now :)
