The Clothes Line by Latane
Michael McVean's theme for this week's Scribble Picnic was 'tablecloth'. Right away I thought of seeing, when I was young, my Mom's Sunday tablecloth hanging on the line in the backyard. So, that is what I tried to do. A watercolor on 9x12 paper.
Latane you and Wanda were thinking alike, love your cheery tablecloth.
ReplyDeleteOh I just love this sweet painting! Beautiful and charming in theme! What a neat memory captured.
ReplyDeleteAwesome way for showing the tablecloth.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! I love this Latane :)
ReplyDeleteIt's lovely, and what a beautiful Sunday tablecloth. We were on the same page....I love your watercolor...so soft and gentle...Hugs.
ReplyDeleteThat really is very pretty, Latane, and what a lovely memory too--one I have never seen whilst growing up. This all looks so dreamy and a clever way to depict the theme. Thank you so much!
ReplyDeleteI love this beautiful scene. So peaceful and fresh. Wonderfully done!
ReplyDeleteI ever so briefly thought about doing something like this, but didn't follow through. So glad that you did, and I love the matching cloth napkins hanging there!
ReplyDeleteI remember hanging washing on the line!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful day!
We pegged our tablecloths on the line, along with our undies and everything else, when I was a child - no electric dyers then! They would come in frozen some winter days and we'd have to thaw them out and start all over drying again!
ReplyDeleteI love this piece Latane.
Oh you are so right ... my mother used to do wash every Monday and the tablecloth was always there. I loved back when we used to hang our things outside to dry ... they had a special fresh smell to them. Very nice, Latane ...
