Khayalot on the Way Home

Transparent Watercolor 20x26 cm

 This is how I saw 2 soldiers on the train on their way home for the weekend.  I love the affectionate way of people here  -  the natural coziness, being comfortable with being close  - both physically and personally. It is especially endearing between soldiers, classmates and the elderly.

This watercolor was painted from the sketch which I made into a value study last week and was inspired by Karin's challenge entitled Work Boots.

Usually, I don't like to talk about the process of painting, but I have to say - 

I learned so much while painting this, that it felt as though I had taken a class when I was finished.  While it may be overworked and the colors may not be what I had envisioned, this painting will change the way I approach my next work.
