Medium
Painting - Watercolor
Description
I painted this inside the old farmhouse at the Agricultural Heritage Museum near Longmont, Colorado. I had planned to paint outside but the weather thwarted me. The groundskeeper, Jim, kindly let me come inside to paint the antique sewing machine indoors, looking out at the drizzly day. It speaks of times gone by.

So so beautiful Anne ... one of my favorites!! I can't believe I didn't leave a comment previously. My mom had a Singer, very detailed and so prettily painted like this one. She made my clothes with it when I was a little girl. I still remember my teachers complimenting me on my little dresses, all created by mom. She was so talented. I even remember the day they switched out the foot treadle for electricity!!!! Thanks for the walk down memory lane with this so-beautiful work of art, Anne!!! l/f t p fb

The weather turning bad was quite fortuitous, you've created a charming painting Anne. Still life, interior scene and landscape combined. Beautiful work. fav

Excellent painting I remember when I was a young kid my father owned one of them those old machines you cannot kill them they just run and run forever.
Anne Gifford replied:
I still have one that my father refurbished for me 50 years ago. I love hearing the stories of memories invoked from the comments, Joseph, and thank you for yours!
