Rose Colored Memories Canvas Print

I had all but forgotten this little country store until recently. I think it's been closed most of my life, but the sign over the gable was a sign that we were there. This is the small community of Rose Hill, Alabama, where my father grew up and where his mother's family had called home for a couple of generations before that.

The "Rose Hill General Store" sign apparently came later for reasons as yet unknown. But this work was more about the feeling than historical details. It very much reminds me of bygone days.
