Times Past (by Latane)

There is something that draws me to old houses. I can't help but wonder who lived there, what the family was like, how they spent their days and nights. This scene with the ragged curtains blowing in the wind tugs at my heart.
I am linking with Paint Party Friday

  4. I really love this painting! The weathered wood is just perfect! And it makes you sad to think the people left their curtains in the window and moved on years ago.

  7. As a writer, I too have always been drawn to old houses. There were many when I lived in IL in the countryside. I absolutely love your painting. Many Blessings into the New Year, Janet

  8. Beautiful painting - and I agree it is sad to think it was once someone's home.

  9. Like you I am drawn to old houses ... this is a beautiful painting, Latane and it does evoke questions about the history that brought this old house to such a place.

  13. I love your painting and I love it to read your thoughts as I have also a special connection to old houses. I'm always wondering whom would i meet when visiting the resident of the respective house.
