Painting - Watercolor
Description
Often, while walking down alleys, or looking closely at homes where additions have usurped what used to be a big yard, and certainly while painting this old Colorado cabin, I can imagine the people who once worked, played, and lived there. I am learning how to use the transparent qualities of watercolors to bridge the years between us.
