The Home Stretch

Years in the making, yes, years. I dated it in light pencil printed in the margin; September 24, 2013. It's been keeping me company over the years, through printmaking classes; through my mothers...and fathers stay in hospitals; through seasons of camping in El Morro and vacationing in Croatia. Several incongruities about this piece. First, it's a watercolor. I left watercolors behind me when I moved towards oils. Every once in a while when inspired by someone elses work I'll bring them out. Secondly, it's 18" x 24". In my studio, that's almost mural sized. I lean towards smaller pieces. Lastly, it's a landscape, I indulge in still lives, so I can count on my hand how many I may have done. With that said, it's coming to an end, in the home stretch, not soon enough, a battle of wills, I won't give up now!
