Wide Open Space – 4″ x 6″ Watercolor

“Sometimes when we are generous in small, barely detectable ways it can change someone else’s life forever.”
– Margaret Cho

I love that quote!

Wide Open Space – 4″ x 6″ Watercolor

There’s something about wide open spaces.  I love farms and rolling meadows.  This was painted from a photo by Bonnie (Artastic) at WetCanvas.  The sunset really was that color in the photo.  Space is the word for Illustration Friday and I chose this image as this week’s entry.

I have already installed graphics on a travel trailer this morning.  Today’s forecast is for 111 F and I swear, it’s well on it’s way.  I’m getting too old for these extreme temperatures.  I know…. whine, whine, whine.  :)

About Margaret Cho

Margaret Cho, the outspoken Korean-American comedian and actor, made television history as the first Asian-American with her own TV series, All American Girl. She was born in 1968 in San Francisco and has mined her life for extremely successful one-woman shows, including I’m the One That I Want and Notorious C.H.O., both of which spawned albums, movie versions, and books. When not touring with her comedy, Cho works now in Hollywood as both an actress and a director.

    Wow, what a sky! Definitely your colors, although the style is quite different and I probably would not have guessed you did it. Lovely image for the topic “space”! Very peaceful. Love Margaret Cho and the quote!
