Information About The Painting, Waiting

I was enthralled when I first saw the 1933 photograph by Dorthea Lange, of the White Angel Bread Line. (So called because a wealthy San Francisco woman paid for it.) I loved the shapes and imagined what they would look like in vibrant colors. I was so taken with the image that I thought it had to be large and am real happy with the way it turned out.
