'On the Garden Steps', watercolour, 34 x 21 cm. A commissioned painting which brings to life a 100 year-old photograph. The owner of this house has a black and white photo of a previous owner of the house sitting on the steps sometime in the 1920s with her dog. This painting brings the scene up to date with the current owner and dogs, but retaining the period clothing. What a joy it was to revisit a moment from a century ago in paint and colour in the same spot!

@robwighamwatercolours what a lovely idea and a beautiful painting

@Robiscuit thank you! The original photo was much closer in, looking straight up the steps to the front door. I moved it all out a bit to feature the house too, and to get some colour from the garden. It's going to hang in the house with the original photo close by!
