Lennies Fireworks
This is a little watercolor that I just completed this a.m.  It is 7x10 and matted to an 11x14.  Every year our neighbor at the lake sets off a beautiful display of fireworks for us all to enjoy.  Living right next door, we didn't really have a good view because of a big tree, so we took the pontoon out in the lake and viewed them from there.  The fourth of July is my favorite time at the lake.  There are fireworks going up all around us and with the beautiful reflections in the water, it is a sight to behold.  Such fun!!  Family, friends and home made ice cream to share with all.  We also have a neighbor that makes the most delicious cinnamon rolls in the world and has a morning coffee for all the neighbors to enjoy.  What a wonderful fourth of July we all had.  My little painting is a bit gawdy and colorful, but it was just a wonderful, colorful time,
This little painting was very popular with the neighbors in the cove that I did several of them, each a little different, due to watercolor misbehaving some, and gave several away.  Not excellent painting but one that brings back lots of memories as to what fun we all had when Lennie set off his fireworks for us all to enjoy.  What memories!!!!!
