Description
Oil painting of a woman hanging her white linens on a clothes line in the early morning, a clothes basket at her feet, two Aylesbury ducks forage in the background. Based on a childhood memory of my mother and one of the few domestic chore I still enjoy in summer !
Here are some basic Clothesline Rules, passed down through the generations !
1.Wash the clothes line before hanging any clothes--wipe the entire length of each line with a damp cloth.
2. Hang the clothes in a certain order, and always hang "whites" first.and with "whites,"
3. Hang clothes as they are worn except shirts and socks -Never hang a shirt by the shoulders, always by the tail.
4. Wash day on a Monday.
5 It didn't matter if the weather was sub zero ....clothes would whiten in the frost and "freeze-dry."
6. Always gather the clothes pegs when taking down dry clothes. Pegs left on the lines were likely to be dirty.
7. If you were efficient, you'd line the clothes up so that each item did not need two clothes pegs, but shared one clothes peg with the next washed item.

Love this painting! Beautifully composed with lovely color and expressive brushwork. Love the description, too. My mom had the same rules. I can remember bringing our jeans in during freezing weather and they would stand up by themselves lol! LF
