Place of Rest

Matted watercolor, 16" x 20". Someday, I'll figure out where this is. The willow, the lake and the architecture of the garden folly tells me we're at an English stately home, but I have no idea which one. Joanlee, after all, visited scores of them, and had a pile of photos a foot high that she planned to turn into watercolors. Someday I might find the photo that she worked from for this. In the mean time you'll have to go by her title: "Place of Rest".
