Day 20 in the 30 Paintings in 30 Days Challenge.
Cattails and waterlilies, my sister's favorites, along with dragonflies and ducks and seagulls. We grew up on a large river in our front yard in Michigan, and behind us was a marsh system that was huge. Lots of opportunities to see all of these, and the red-winged blackbird, too. I was intrigued by the frogs and polliwogs in the small ponds in the field behind our house, and baby crayfish, and in the river, whole schools of teeny fish we called pinheads--literally, the size of a pin. It was a wonderful place to grow up, swimming everyday in the summer, and skating on the ice in the winter. Carefree days.
