Shortdale Station

Lately my focus has been on nostalgia, old trains, buildings, cars, streetcars, etc.  The last art show at the Local Colour Art Group of which I am a member selected a theme of nostalgia.  Each artist was asked to display at least one piece of art showing their interpretation of nostalgia.  That was a piece of cake for me as my whole board was nothing but nostalgia.  My painting shows a train going through the small community of Shortdale, Manitoba, a tiny community which has a special connection for me , because my parents owned the general store there in the 1920s.

You may purchase this watercolour painting, matted and framed in a 16" x 20" black metal frame.
