Inspired by the history and years old memories of my hometown of Yakinville, North Carolina, I have recreated a scene of "Our Town" circa 1950. The painting features the stately old court house which was demolished in the mid 1950's to make way for a new and improved building. The buildings surrounding the court house (from left to right) are The Men's Shop, the old hotel, the Harding house, Mason's Hardware, the Seat's Theater, John D. Holcomb's Store, the five & Ten Cent Store and Welborns Cafe.
At risk of giving away my age, some of my fondest memories like many other kids of the time were of going into the 5&10 with a dime in my hand and a big decision of what to buy. Then, there were the trips by the old hardware store with a great new wooden sled sitting right up front in the window. Tops on my list of memories was when my parents took me into the John D. Holcomb's store to pick out my first pair of cowgirl boots! You see like many young girls my dream was to have a horse of my own. That dream came true at the age of eleven. My dad bought me a beautiful paint mare and her almost grown son. I was so proud. I had my horses and my shiny black boots with blue stitched designs.
Like last year, I have produced this print to help raise money for a school in my area, Yadkinville Elementary School. This gave the people of the area the chance to purchase a grea commemorative print. The money raised was used to help purchase much needed supplies for the young kids in my area.
