Which Road?



We all have choices.  Which road do you choose?  Sometimes, I want a yellow cottage by the sea and sometimes I want a farm.  Which road do I choose?

I grew up in the midwest where farms were everywhere. I loved on the Intracoastal in SE FL and loved every minute of it.  Torn between the two roads.

The storm, the barn, the field of purple flowers, the garden, the three trees, the Road, and the puffy single dandelion.

I used Prismacolor pencils for this ACEO.

Come join the Paint Party Friday.  Thanks Eva and Kristin.

Blessings,
Janet

  7. Ahh, choosing a favorite place can be so difficult. I am a sucker for anyplace where mountains end at the sea.

    I can't believe how many different elements and how much detail you got into a tiny aceo!

  10. 'Love the way you've depicted your two choices in this small piece. Hopefully you can find a way to spend time in both places.

  13. Hmmm, hard choice... both options hold memories and stories... love the dandelion - makes me think of care-free childhood, blowing dandelions without having to choose a road...yet.

  15. Your art makes a good case for the farm but I am an ocean kind of person so I'm leaning for the ocean. But, hey,why limit yourself? What about both?

  16. I think you can have it both :) A beach in front and a farm at the back. :)
