After a year of medi
cal & senior citizen's challenges, I was able to join the lunchtime traditional group of families & friends at the Walnut room at Macy's on Black Friday, 2024. The solo outing was great. It took me only 45 minutes to be seated at the Walnut bar seating, with my bar seat facing the holiday center of the huge Christmas tree with accessories of a red VW car topped by colorful boxes of gifts of multiple Pdimensions. I tipped the Macy's maitre' D who thoughtfully seated me to have a constant view of the Walnut room centerpiece of the tree, car and gifts while I ate my lunch. When a group of 8 family members was seated as a group in front of my line of vision, I felt the beginning POV of a Christmas card in my mind's eye. I had 3 sources of inspiration:(1) Decorated Christmas Tree(2) The red VW car loaded with gifts (3) The family of 3 adults & 5 children. It was a challenging but fun experience of the Black Friday Lunch at the Walnut room of the Marshall Fields store now known as Macy'ss
You're right--this does make for a sweet Christmas card. Even with three focal points, there's a unity here. And I absolutely love that tree!
ReplyDeleteYou captured the festivity and busyness of the Walnut Room at Xmas time!
ReplyDeleteLove that tree.
ReplyDeleteYou always tell a story.
ReplyDeleteYes, every picture tells a story. Especially when you paint it! How you captured all that energy and festivity is hard to imagine, but you did it with exuberance and joy. Yay, Susan.
