"Aqua Broads"

12 x 9"
oil on masonite
sold

A few summers back, I stepped into the shaded Telfair Square, one of the small city parks in Savannah. It was around 90 degrees at lunchtime, actually the more comfortable time of the day - and people were spilling out of their offices while a rather large group of senior ladies, all dressed in aquas, had set up their lawn chairs to listen to a little jazz ensemble. When I came on the scene, the sidewalk was lined with them and passerbys, enjoy the 'In Crowd', one of my favorite tunes.

  3. I just love this--it has so much to say, evoking one of those moments in time that that are so much more than they appear.

  6. Hi! Has this one sold? I absolutely love it! I love the orthopedic shoes and the folding lawn chairs, and the way the light hits the women. Just gorgeous and funny and poignant.
