New Challenge: "Paint a Storefront"
The Whatnot Shop in Tannersville, New York, sells secondhand furniture and homewares—a porcelain angel, a bird cage, a lamp, and a set of wine glasses. Linda and Rita, who started the business five months ago, also sell Avon products. The storefront was once a tattoo parlor. They haven't got a new sign made yet.
A storefront is an expression of a dream: the dream that what one person creates will be of value to someone passing by.
I invite you to paint a storefront on location during the month of August. Try to capture the facts accurately, but also see if you can imply the dream that animates it, with attention to architecture, signage, window displays, and wear and tear.
