MYSTERY PHOTO: Where’s this painting?

Our previous Mystery Photo

Our Feb. 1 photo, “Interesting wall,” shows an interesting quote in orange letters on a living, green wall that’s at Edmund’s Oast restaurant near the corner of Brigade Street and Morrison Drive in Charleston.  (Thanks for the pic, Kitty Barksdale.)

Hats off to the few who correctly identified it:  Jay Altman of Columbia; George Graf of Palmyra, Va.; Claire Gibbons of Charleston (“And such a good time it is, too”); Allan Peel of San Antonio, Texas; and Marnie Huger of Richmond, Va.

Peel explained that the founder of Edmund’s Oast wanted to create a relaxed environment. “So to encourage his clients to slow down and enjoy life, he had Robert Farrar Capon’s famous quote ‘a good time occurs precisely when we lose track of what time it is’ affixed to the back courtyard wall. The message of ‘losing track of time’ seems so appropriate in these trying times were we all hunker down to try to stay safe and healthy in these pandemic times.”
