Description
A stroll through beautiful and historic Ellicott City, Maryland on a soft May morning brings many delights. That morning was in the year 2008, now long ago, and yet I still remember this lovely shop, La Boutique De Mon Ami. I was there too early in the day to visit … and had always planned to return. But that can't happen now, as the shop is permanently closed.
Ellicott City has seen its share of troubles in the years since I took the original photo this image is based on … devastating and deadly floods. I do hope this lovely spot wasn't part of the damaged areas. So I'm happy to reach back in time and recreate and embellish the lovely spot that I remember.
This image was hand painted, digitally, in Corel Painter using one of my own original (not from stock or public domain) photographs as a starting point.
Not created using Artificial Intelligence / AI.
Fine art as well as product 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."
