Dad's watercolors

Back in the late 70s/early 80s, my Dad went through a watercolor-painting phase. After painting dozens of small watercolors (mostly poplar trees), he abandoned the hobby. I really liked two of his watercolors, and I saved them for several years. About a month ago, I rediscovered them when I was sorting out a drawer of photographs and decided to have them framed.

Here's a close-up of the framed watercolors.


Here's a photo of the watercolors "in situ" in my guestroom.

  • They look great! Did you realize they would compliment the dogs' quilt so well?

  • Ruth, the paintings are lovely and look great framed and on your wall. You know me and my love of browns/beiges! And what a great memory of your Dad to have his watercolors hanging in your home.
