Painting weathered wood in watercolor is always a nice challenge. When it surrounds a window with a view inside it's a downright thrill! This abandoned old weather worn house was ready for the roof to cave in when I came upon it. Capturing various aspects of it on film allowed for several subsequent watercolor paintings. This one of the kitchen window with the roll down blind and tattered curtains is my favorite of the series. It's done on D'Arches 300 lb. paper - the very best!
