“Ladies Who Lunch”
This art was inspired by my childhood memories of my grandmother. It was created from two vintage photographs, I imagined my grandmother in Springtime colors, and going out with her lady friends for lunch. These ladies who lunched during her time, would not have been welcome everywhere, but didn’t allow that to stop them from having fun!
Maggie, Lena, Bertha and Ruth were dressed to the nines and ready to roll! They wanted to eat together, share a good time, catching up on gossip and tales of love, trials and tribulation; so they got in Maggie's car and headed down Interstate 95. It was all about them that day.
This piece started out with layers of acrylic paint, vintage papers, 1950s menu, vintage handbag charm, plastic/paper stickers, old photographs, inks, button, cardboard letters, metal and vintage scrabble wood letters, on an 8” x 8” x 1.5” gallery-wrapped canvas. Text, symbols and images float above and below the surface. There are many small details to discover in this piece!
