INSIDE THE ANTIQUE SHOP



INSIDE THE ANTIQUE SHOP
Nancy Herman
6" x 8"
oil on stretched canvas

Inside an antiques shop on Germantown Avenue in Chestnut Hill I spoted these textures and light.  I love old things with there patina of experience.  The edges are worn away and only the essence of a previous time shine through in a lovely old artifact.

I spent my childhood following my mom around in antique shops and this painting really speaks to me. I am filled with lovely memories of looking at all the wonderful things in the shops my mom would frequent.
I love your painting style, you capture so powerfully the mood.

Thanks Susan,
I wanted to make it dark and a little mysterious as that's how I fell in these places.
