Description
Berkley and Mabel were a rural couple that fell in love in their late sixties. They enjoyed the simple things in life, such as a day by the water, talking endlessly about their lives. There was a lot to catch up on. Unfortunately, they only had five years together but it was five years well lived. They were my country neighbours. My whimsical paintings of Berkley and Mabel are a tribute to their love. Thank you for viewing. Barbara McMahon.
Please have a peek at other paintings with Berkley and Mabel.

How cute this is! Could the old folks be re-living memories of the Sixties? v
Barbara McMahon replied:
Thank you Mary! My mini-series on Mabel and Berkley are about a real live couple that met at age 65 and were inseparable for a short five years until Berkley's untimely passing. Mabel, we are sure died of a broken heart shortly after. Basically being born on farms, they did not have the typical vacations of most families and "all the fun stuff" happened in their senior years.
