I can strongly relate to this piece. You beautifully caught the “finally, I’m home” feeling.

I love your Vanishing Images series. There was a house very much like this outside of Columbus, Texas that my grandmother used to walk past on her way to school. It had been inherited by three unmarried sisters, and when they died it sat empty for years, until it burned down. l/f

These grand, sturdy homes have wealth of stories to tell - joys, sorrows, births, deaths, visitors, news, friendships, recipes, pets. What a wonderful place to let your imagination roam! Beautiful painting and storytelling, favorite!

Wow! Once again you have totally amazed me, Anne, with first of all with your depiction of this grand old house, and then upon closer inspection the ghost like figures, including the horse and buggy. Only you could have had the sensitivity and skill to create such figures using watercolor. Bravo!
