Summer Afternoon

"Summer Afternoon"  8 x 10 acrylic study on acid-free canvas
Really not a great narrative about this.  Yes it reminds me of my grandmother's house, but no, she would never have a fancy hat like that....more likely a homemade bonnet with big bulky straps to tie under her chin.

The chair?  Well actually that was her chair....I just purpled it up a bit to offset all that yellow.

Flowers? Definitely!  Cat? Sadly, usually Siamese, because they were good hunters.   Usually 2 or 3 at any given time. 
Mouse cats for the barn, but some of the more docile ones always became favorites of the grand kids.  

Bright sunlight, bright flowers belie the hard work that went on all day, working the gardens, or God help us all, chopping cotton, which I was subjected to for several years.  Easy weight loss plan, back when I didn't need to lose weight.

I made a narrative after all.  Now let me think about it.  Maybe there's more.
