Missoula Memories, 1938
A rain-washed evening settles over downtown Missoula in 1938, where storefronts glow against the wet pavement and automobiles move steadily through the heart of the city. The Florence Hotel rises above the street, its rooftop sign standing as a familiar landmark while pedestrians pass beneath the lights of local shops and businesses.
Missoula Memories, 1938 captures the energy of a growing Montana town at the end of the Depression era—a place where commerce, travel, and everyday life all met downtown. The reflections along the street soften the scene, giving the city a warmth that feels both lively and deeply nostalgic.
This painting is a tribute to old Missoula and to the ordinary moments that become part of a community’s memory: an evening downtown, glowing windows, familiar signs, and the quiet rhythm of a city moving forward.
