This painting was pieced together from many black and white photos along with photos of what remained of the house in 2018.\u00a0 Many of the details with the house were of Barb’s memories from growing up in the house.<\/p>\n
Recreating the car from an old photograph was a challenge on its own.\u00a0 Finding a car like it was not easy in order to get the smallest of details in order to paint it.\u00a0 It was only because of a car show at 15 Wing Moose Jaw where I was able to find and photograph a restored 1964 Mercury Marander that I was successful.<\/p>\n
Barb’s comments:<\/p>\n
“I\u2019m so happy with the painting – it\u2019s beautiful & so many details. It\u2019s like still having them here. Every time I look at the painting. \u00a0Thanks again for making it.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
Inquiry from Barb<\/strong> – a gift for her husband, Roland for Christmas.<\/p>\n One day Barb said to Roland “I would love to get a painting of your MERCURY with us and where I lived when we got married. We had talked about tearing down the old house. That\u2019s when I decided I would have it made for him for Xmas.”<\/p>\n The meaning behind the painting<\/strong>:\u00a0 Roland had this car when Barb met him. He had just come home from 3 months of work in ZAMA. Alta.<\/p>\n He was going down the street in Radville. He had Milwaukee mufflers with Straight \u00a0Pipes on it. They sounded really cool. Barb asked her friend who he was as he was new in town. Her friend replied that he was her cousin from here. Barb then said that Roland had a hot looking car. That night there was a dance so that is where they met with a little help from her friend.<\/p>\n Roland & Barb always said they wished that they could afford to keep the car. It had so much meaning to them both. They had it when they first met, when they got married and all the trips home from High Level. It was so SPECIAL to both of them.<\/p>\n Canvas Size\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0H 18″ x D 24″<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":616,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"product_cat":[50],"product_tag":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.yvettemoore.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/615"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.yvettemoore.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.yvettemoore.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.yvettemoore.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/616"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.yvettemoore.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=615"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.yvettemoore.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=615"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.yvettemoore.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=615"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Acrylic on Canvas 2018<\/h5>\n
