Open


This is an unusual watercolor. My sister had a studio in a former funeral home. This was the stairway that led to the living quarters of the family and always had a flood of light on the back walls. A tremendous contrast to the stairway (hidden behind the doorway) that led to the basement work area.) It's a very "1920's building which has since been remodeled to house offices. This particular stairway remained untouched by all the updates, and I have been truly fascinated by it.
Enjoy!

very nice, almost looks eery - must be the idea of the funeral home studio...

Ooh, there's probably lots of stories there. Love the softness of the watercolors here.
