"MY MOTHER'S BIRTHPLACE"

no. 365-H of my 365/2010 series
Title: "MY MOTHER'S BIRTHPLACE"
Size: 5X7 inches
Medium: Watercolor on 140lb. watercolor paper.
This is the place where my mother was born in, in the hills of East Tennessee. It is somewhere in Jackson County Tennessee. To the right You'll see my GREEN HORNET. I visited this place with my Grand father some time in the early 70's and it is so far back in the wood and under the hills, that he was still afraid of the moonshiners. So we didn't linger long. This was painted using an old Polaroid shot that was so faded and only browns in color. I remember everyone was a little afraid for me to get out of the car and take the picture. But, life is only an adventure, isn't it?
