This pencil was done on New Year's Day in 2003. The sun was low on the southern horizon. I was able to grab a moment and do a drawing as the day's activities were winding down. The old garage- too small for most modern cars- and too inconvenient with its homemade doors and no opener- reminds me perfectly of the one we had as a kid at the parsonage in Trenton, NE. We are talking late 50's early 60's. Seems like Dad may have parked in it a few times but not often- I don't believe the '59 Fairlane would fit end to end. The broom in this drawing gives something away.... this is a concrete floor- very little use for a broom in a dirt floor garage like the one I remember!
Where is it located, Dad?
ReplyDeleteI actually still occasionally will have a dream that includes that old garage. I don't know why. It wasn't particularly memorable in my childhood experiences.
ReplyDeleteWell, I was going to add that, but forgot. The drawing was of a garage on 23rd in Lawrence. North side between Ohio and Tenn. Still there but maybe not standing open as often.
ReplyDeleteWell Rick, Dad was about 40 when he stored brushes in that garage in Trenton; maybe for us to use on the houses on the east of town...
