| This is the old Verda Grocery store, several miles down the road from where I live. I have been asked to do a pen and ink and watercolor of it for a woman for Christmas. I believe her family used to own or run this store, and the building is no longer there. This is an old photograph I happened to have (and could find?!..miracle). |

| I have barely started the pen and ink...just to show you the very beginning. |
 |
| She has a large number of requests...one being that I add this kind of gas pump instead of the "modern" ones in the photo. I saw this one in my recent trip to Arkansas, and knew I needed a pic of it for reference for this commission. And she specifically wanted it to be Texaco...so I was very lucky! I will post more progress as I move forward. sheltongail@hotmail.com |
