Dad's Shed
Watercolor batik on rice paper, 8x5

The stunning color of the fall foliage hit me as soon as I walked out the back door at my parent's house. Early morning light illuminated the trees splendidly! How I wished I could set up and paint on the spot, being hospital bound, this was not the time. I sketched this while my mother slept and my dad "rested" in a rather uncomfortable chair. Laying in the first layers of color discreetly (from the vinyl couch in the room) - I took this back home to wax and paint again. What a therapeutic way to spend the long hours waiting by mom's bed. Painting number 675 in as many days.
