Remember When ?

The reference picture was from a
small collection of Vintage hats that
was displayed in an Upstate
New York Boutique. I love hats,
especially floppy ones. Didn't you
love to see the old movies where
the Ladies wore hats all the time?
Ahh, those were the days...!

    I agree every freeze frame of old movies is like a vintage fashion still :) I love this pastel the colouring is so serene, beautifully drawn! Jules

    I agree with you and always I wonder why they do not use nowadays.

    I know that my opinion could be weird, but I prefer the hats it was wearing Humphrey Boggart, He, He,..
    Good composition, Hilda, moreover I like especially the table and Its delicate drawings.

    Hilda, esos sombreros son preciosos y están pintados muy bien. Me gusta mucho esta pintura al pastel. Felicidades!
    Sobre sombreros, te diré que soy un apasionado de los mismos. Siempre llevo sombrero o una gorra y tengo una habitación llena de todo tipo de sombreros. En todos mis viajes compro sombreros.
    Un saludo.

    thank you TRUDY. I remember wearing hats when I was a young girl.. loved trying them on at the stores. I think the white one on the left is silk.

    What a fun painting Hilda! An unusual but really successful subject. Love it! I especially love the little white feathers that are floating around the hat on the right.

    I have just been browsing through your latest work - all SO good - but I just HAD to stop here today. I love these hats - You have captured the material and the shine so well! I really like the little feathery bits too. This really is an eye-catcher :0)
