Old Hickory's Place

6" x 8 1/2"

Winsor & Newton Watercolor on Arches 140lbs. Cold Press paper

This is a watercolor that I recently pulled out of a box that I had done back in the mid 1990's. It was inspired from a visit to Andrew Jackson's Homestead in Tennessee. Outside the grounds in a beautifully landscaped entrance area was this display. I liked the way the light caused the nylon in the fabric to glow. This coupled with the patriotic feelings after having visited the site made me want to paint this.
