I fell in love with this photo the day that Jan posted it. The cards are beautiful, frame able for a small space. I like that they have plenty of room for writing or doodling inside.

Love dragons this card was even better in person when it arrived.
I painted this watercolor thirty years ago in 1990, from a black-and-white century-old photo given to me by Marianne, the girl in pink, when she was in her eighties to use as a reference. The painting was a gift for her younger sister Maureen (in the blue dress). The background shows the old double sidewalks and a glimpse of the stately Victorian homes of Cambridge, Ontario Canada in early 1900.
Of course there was an apple for the teacher and a polished metal lunch bucket! Those enormous bows and droopy white stockings were quite the fashion statement on this annual back-to-school celebration!
Thank you to the hosts of the following groups for featuring my image. I appreciate your kind support and promotion!

Women Painters
CONTACT ME for painting commissions and inquiries about original paintings. Born in Aachen, Germany, I grew up in Ontario, Canada, where I still live with my husband (the love of my life) and family, from which comes the inspiration for much of my work. My vibrant watercolors, acrylic and oil paintings cannot be labelled in only one category. My paintings reflect my life: enriched with excitement as well as quiet times. My fascination with capturing a flash of movement in a motionless art form is evident in my sports paintings and energetic portraits. Moments of tenderness are reflected in my still life art, gardens and landscapes. Humor and silliness reflect in my fantasy illustrations. Many aspects of my life are mirrored in my...

Anne Gifford
What a fabulous story to go with this painting, Hanne. You have painted it so beautifully. I particularly like the bows in their hair. I have pictures of my mom with exactly the same attire. The bows must have been a girls' fashion statement of the time that went by the wayside, years ago.like/f

Marsha Woods
This is my favorite of all the children's portraits in this collection. It is in tune with the historical period (I had to wear those darn white socks when I was a child) when going to school was a HUGE DEAL and children were dressed as well as the parents could afford. The hairstyles were so formal even for little girls such as these. Thanks for taking me on a little journey into my childhood, Hanne!
Hanne Lore Koehler replied:
I'm so glad this brought back fond memories of your childhood, Marsha! Thank you for your thoughtful comment and support!

Linda Phelps
V, Darling prainting of these little girls! The one in the blue dress looks like a picture of my Mom when she was little. I like the dappled sunlight on the sidewalk and the victorian looking house in the background. My Mother rode to school of a school bus that was a house drawn wagon. In the winter (Iowa) they sat on each others feet!

Thank you for your delightful story, Linda! What a great way to keep the toes from freezing! I appreciate your kind support, my friend!
