Looking Back...."To School"


I've been promising to post some of my old work, and so here we go.  This one was, I believe, probably one of the first 10 that I ever did.   It is done in watercolor and the Derwent Watercolor Pencils (which I love - they're great!)

"To School" - A reminder of "the good old days" - The kids back then didn't have ipods or lap tops or cell phones, but the way to school still had its distractions!   Someone has left behind their Spelling Primer, by the tree swing on their way to school. 

This one was also one of the first few that I sold.   I numbered my first pictures on the back - I'd put "By Carolyn Caton, Her first painting, second painting", etc.   It was one of those.

*Note:  I had a computer crash recently, and unfortunately some of my records are still on that computer.  This one is from either 2007 or 2008 - once I get my data retrieved from the old computer I'll know for sure!   The photo was taken in 2008, but it may have been done in 2007.
