This was my very first painting I ever did. I watched some painter on black and white TV at my grandparents home one afternoon and ran home to my new set of watercolor paints my father bought me and recreated what I thought was a master piece! My parents thought that that was just too cute, I was 9 years old My mother held onto it and stashed it in her "hope chest" where it was discovered many years later after my parents both passed away...and the rest is history!
