#170: "On Display", 24" x 18", oil

The latest in my series "Langley Inside Out" is this colorful scene depicting the window at Good Cheer, Whidbey's thrift store. Pretty much everyone donates here...and everyone buys stuff here, so sooner or later you will get your own stuff back. Everywhere you look in this store there is a still life waiting to be painted. My challenge here was to show the warmth of the sun streaming through the window onto the goods on display. The Ray for the Day is "On Display".

I love your display window paintings! They are so cheerful, warm and happy. When I was little my Grandmother and Mom would take all of us kids to Sears & Roebucks and we would just "window shop" and people-watch. Your paintings remind me of those bygone days. Thank you for the memories.
