The Story

Growing up on a farm was a magical experience, filled with the wonders of nature and endless adventures. One of the many fun activities as a kid was catching lightning bugs to put in a jar, their soft glow illuminating warm summer nights. Now, as an adult, I’ve found a way to recreate that cherished memory by hanging jars of solar fairy lights outside. They twinkle just like the lightning bugs did, bringing a touch of that childhood magic to my evenings and reminding me of the simple joys and boundless wonder of those carefree days.

 

Technique

Watercolor on paper stretched like a canvas.

Always challenging to depict a night scene. I added just a touch of metallic gold for the lightning bug lights.
I've sealed this with 2 coats of wax so no glass is needed even though it's watercolor on paper.
