"Snow Delma's Corner East Boston" Acrylic 16" x 20" Canvas BoardMe

Seasons Greetings!  Merry Christmas!  As teenagers we spent many a snowy evening on this street corner in East Boston, MA USA.  I did this scene quite a few times. First time with a bit of snow!  Happy Holidays everyone!  Peace.

  5. Bonjour cher Michael,

    Je suis très heureuse de découvrir cette merveilleuse peinture. Vous avez brillamment crée l'atmosphère d'une soirée hivernale avec la neige qui tombe en virevoltant.
    Les couleurs sont magiques. Je pense qu'en peignant cette toile votre âme était imprégnée de l'esprit de noël. La neige ramène toujours à noël et à ses souvenirs d'enfance.

    Je vous souhaite de très joyeuses fêtes à vous et à tous ceux que vous aimez...
    Avec plein de gros bisous ❄︎ ♡ ❄︎ ☃ ❄︎ ♡ ❄︎

    1. Bonjour Martine! I am so very happy that you like this painting. So many people have mentioned the atmosphere in this one! That makes me very happy! Funny as I was painting I never thought of atmosphere! Glad others noticed it! I agree with you about the snow capturing memories of Christmas past! That is exactly what this painting is all about. I have so many wonderful memories as a teenager "hanging out" on this street corner! Happy New Year full of wonderful creative art for you my dear friend Martine!
      Huge hugs to you!
      Happy 2015!

    My Father grew up in the Maverick Projects right around the corner from here. Is there any chance you have this print for sale somewhere?

    1. Hey Paul Dailey! I am thrilled to hear from you! If your father grew up at 65 Maverick Street in the Maverick Projects I think I knew him! I knew many Dailey's from East Boston! (Dickie, Gene, Peter, Kathy, Patty, and others!) I am corresponding of FB with Kathy and Patty once in awhile! I am thrilled you are interested in prints of this piece! I am currently looking into having prints made on canvas! I did sell the original! I will be writing more about that sale after the holidays!
      Please write back and tell my your Dad's name. I may have known him!
      Happy New Year!

  13. When I clicked on "Snow Delma's Corner East Boston", I found myself staring in silence. I couldn't break away. I half expected Frank to pop his head out the front door and give me a little wave. Just how lost was I? It occurred to me that Frank could never pop his head out. Everyone knows that Delma's closes early, and Frank wouldn't be back till dawn!
