This pastel painting is part of my past. The old Philco radio is the one I grew up with. My Mom, Dad and sister and myself, sat around that radio every evening after supper, listening to the "world". Does anyone reading this remember "the Shadow Knows" Amos and Andy" , "George Burns and Gracie Allen"
"Red Skelton" and how many others? This radio means family all connected in a wonderful way. We had to use our imaginations and listen. Things were not being fired at us in the visual way we live today.
The orange pitcher was the one in which Mom made iced tea and lemonade for years. The doily was tatted by my grandmother, and back in those days, Mom had to sew and repair most things by hand.
Did your Mom wear an apron? Mine would walk through a room and take the corner to dust any spots on the furniture.
For me -"The good old days".
So much history in this painting! Wow!
