Thank heaven or Di for comic buffers , amirite?

Does not appear to be Black Friday. Then also appears this could be pre-1863 and with no Thanksgiving no Black Friday. But it's a nice scene and looks like it'd be relaxing to head inside for a little shopping

When did they start really promoting the atrocity of black friday? Was it about 2002? I remember when Thanksgiving was just a nice time to get together with your relatives over a fabulous meal and spend the next day on the couch chatting and eating leftovers. Giving that up for discounted pieces of merchandise seems akin to selling one's birthright for a bowl of soup.

I think black Friday dates back to much before 2002 but that sounds about right for the year black Friday started bleeding into Thanksgiving Thursday. 2002 may also be the year that Xmas promotions started as soon as Halloween was over and Halloween (BTW the second largest retail holiday) sales started Tuesday after Labor Day. I'm completely into leftovers so black Fridays for me have always been about eating and not shopping.

yes my grandfather's family had such a store in Arkansas - was super packed with all kinds of items floor to ceiling; wood floors that of course creaked as you walked; a counter in a huge u-shape in the middle; musty smell too. Was great for a youngster to explore. Thanks!

Sounds amazing! What a fun piece of family history! I'm always amazed at how comprehensive the old general stores were, just a tiny little place, but so many different useful items.

Beautiful! The shades are so natural. I wonder if you used transparent colors in your work? All done with brushes of different sizes? What did you use and in what program?

I use photoshop. the new painting programs make brushes that very closely mimic the behavior of oil painting brushes or pastels or watercolor, which makes it feel very similar to working with traditional media and you can fine tune the brushes to whatever size you need, and paint with them like they were real.

I got a good library of congress reference for this one. It was in Natchitotches Parish, LA but it had a different name.
