Description
This nostalgic watercolor painting was commissioned many years ago. I painted this watercolor portrait using a photo taken by the girls' mom as reference. The sisters are dressed in their Sunday best with white knee socks and sandals, happily enjoying an ice-cream cone on a hot drippy summer day - good thing those clothes were washable. The setting is in an older section of Galt in Cambridge, Ontario which has beautiful enormous mature shade trees that envelop the entire street. The old street lights have been preserved and the older regal homes have been updated and renovated making this a magnificent nostalgic elegant section of the city. The girls are now adults with families of their own.
Thank you to the hosts of the following groups for featuring my painting. I appreciate your kind support and promotion!
