This poor forgotten corner store has been standing empty in our neighbourhood for years. My friends and I can think of all kinds for ventures for the spot, starting with a great little artist run gallery...The neon sign, which is practically a landmark, says News, Confectionery, and Magazines on the blue L shaped band. Another era for sure. I thought I'd better paint it before it disappears.
It's great! I love those old stores, with so much history in them. I bet people in your community would love to buy prints of those too!
ReplyDeleteLoks like a perfect gallery, or studio/gallery. Very nice piece!
ReplyDeleteI love it. An artist run centre YES. Gallery studio with living quarters on top. Perfect. Is there anyone who would support it?
ReplyDeleteThanks Katherine, Julie and Artscapes for your enthusiasm on the studio/gallery. It's really more a dream than reality, but I'll bring it up our next art society meeting. One never knows....
ReplyDeleteTout à votre honneur que de peindre cette bâtisse. J'espère qu'elle ne disparaîtra pas. Elle a une âme que vous avez parfaitement su faire transpirer sur cette toile. Bravo et bisous.
ReplyDeleteSomehow I missed this post. I love this old store. Old buildings like this make me think of the people who used to work and shop there when it was in its prime.
