Description
This old house is very special to us because we bought it on some property in Manigotagan, MB., Canada in 2005. We have since tore off the veranda and place the main house on a new foundation, and added some additions. This house was originally built in 1935 and was one of grandeur back in it's day. It was also a boarding house when the boats sailed into bay to unload or pick up cargo.
Many thanks to the Paintings group for your recognition.

Lovely painting - love your composition. I always enjoy an image with a story - this has a story to tell.

Thanks Elizabeth for your insights and comments! It would certainly be a challenge to paint from b & w photos... Hmmmm
