History of a Painting - Movie Theatres (Set of 4)

The most popular subjects around the country that people wanted, were the theatres in their local areas. I started out with the Palace Theatre, where I grew up.  Everywhere I went, they wanted to know if I had their theatre.

With the variety of movie theatres, I painted over the years, the set of 4  gave them a choice of pictures to put in their sets, along with the mat and frame colors. At the Art Festivals and shows, we put the sets together while they waited or shopped.

As you can see, the 2 sets here are not the same.  There are theatres from Atlanta, Chicago, Los Angeles, Detroit and more.

These are so much like the ones I remember.  The good old days although the quality was lacking very often - sound, graphics, comfort!
