Description
This is my watercolor painting of the back door of Kim’s Country Kitchen in Lincoln, CA. I was attracted to this wall by the colors, geometry of shapes and texture. If you’re on the Beerman Plaza in front of the Lincoln Area Archives Museum you can see this red door in the alleyway.
The back of the building looks like a mish mash of corrugated metal and wood siding with various utilities. If you were to guess it is expansion, you would be right. The front of the structure is a brick building which was erected in 1863 as Good Templars Hall. The first telephone office was in the original part of the Emmada Building, at 537 G. Street. By 1896 there were 13 phones in town. The back expansion of the building was built in 1913 by Williamson and Ingram. They combined their wives names, Emma and Ada, and dubbed the building the Emmada. There is an historical marker in front of the building provided in 1996 by Silver Star Parlor #63 Native Sons of the Golden West . As for Kim’s Country Kitchen, it is under new management in Fall of 2019.
This 15” X 22” watercolor is on Arches, 140 pound, rough watercolor paper.
