treasure from the past

I did this watercolor when I was-- probably 10...? around the time when my family was driving every weekend through the countryside to our cabin in hte Sierras, and I was reading books about 'olden times'... Ah, the artistic promise.

It's uncanny how similar it is to what I still like in a place.
I especially like the little wild things (deer & rabbit) sitting politely just outside the fence. You really need to click to enlarge this one and see all the little details.
