We Vacation in Maine with Sterling Forks and Faded Jeans

11 x 15 in, wc and acrylic ink on wc paper

Now, this is just a simple little watercolor with large forks and shells, and it’s totally make-believe. I don’t even wear jeans in Maine in the summer, but they were good to put on the line in the painting. And the forks were based on the only “fancy” fork in the Russell place kitchen, and it really was made in China stainless. But somehow, Maine always means to me old silver and china, as it was all those earlier years at the farm.
