Description
Colorized photo from 1893
Original Title: Waiting for the train
Location: Somewhere in Ohio
I'm not sure why this was taken, being that it says Burlington Route over and over, I'd say this was an advertisement at some point. Hard to imagine a little girl lugging that trunk around, but in those days everyone was stronger and more independent, so who knows.
The frame was a nice place to put my own image in, I will venture to guess that they hung train shedules there.
The colors I wanted muted. The plaster i gave it a tan with a pink marble base. It needed color, but the walls didn't look right as anything but white. The bench is a dull green, with wood exposed because the thing looked fairly worn. I could have went with pink for the girl, but I thing green works better. Its hard to tell if these are brother and sister or not, because their hair color is so different.
