Special Watercolor Birthday Card



I thought it would be fun and memorable to create a special birthday card for my youngest son's 40th birthday January 1st. I was staring out my window trying to think of a subject when suddenly it dawned on me. Right outside the window is a branch from a large pine tree that cuts across the window, like it's trying to get my attention. I thought it was the perfect subject.

Funny how inspiration is there--most of us don't see it though! I love this card--the colors, the delicacy of it, and the way, as in so many of your watercolors, you let the colors run and expand: so free-looking!

Thanks Laura
I almost ditched this painting, but my husband encouraged me not to.
