Description
Honored to announce that "Watching The World Go By" won second place in the Fine Art America contest "X is for Xerox - Multiples" held by the ABC Group. Many thanks to the contest and group administrator, Luther Fine Art, and to everyone who voted for my image. Congratulations to the other winners!!!
"Watching The World Go By" tells about a way of life that many of us still remember ... a time not too long ago. A time before television took over our lives ... television and computers and cell phones and iPads ... and before air conditioning made the inside of our homes more comfortable than the outside on a warm summer's evening.
Back in those days, when supper was done and the kitchen cleaned up, Dad and Mom would sit in the rocking chairs on the front porch and watch the world go by. The kids would be playing on the front lawns or across the street ... or even in the street ... kick-the-can being an all time favorite. Neighbors walking their dogs would wave and pass the time of day, some would stop up and set a spell. Tall glasses of iced tea or frosty beer would be brought out and the long, bright summer day would slowly succumb to faint shades of oranges and violets and purples. The darkening lightning-bug lawn was lulled by the voices of the grown-ups droning softly on as the children, now tired from their busy day of play, curled up in the chairs and dozed off to sleep.
Fine art purchases of this image will not include a watermark, and if I may make a recommendation ... this image will look its very best on the fine art paper choice of "picture rag."
