topkapi Tree tapestry

This is the watercolor done to get proportions, color ideas and
sense of place where I visited. It was so bright and sunny this
day - we visited the topkapi palace and there were so many things
to paint, I wish I was on a painting vacation and not a tour with a schedule but I did see a lot. the watercolor is 14 x 20 and for sale
unframed for $100.

I went to pick up my pictures (see below) at the Blue Ridge Mountain Arts Association and WOW Sandy Bottoms was hung in the lobby and another one Merciers Original Apple House. Sarah said would I like to leave them up for the Holiday Show and the National Show is being hung Tues. I was so flattered. All that exposure. Yes yes yes
