Description
Completed in the early '90s, this watercolor of my (then, very young!) son playing on the beach
in Grand Marais, Minnesota, was put on consignment in a gallery...about 80 miles from our home.
The owner of the gallery placed it in the front window her shop, and the sun ~over a very short time ~
burned out all the yellows and reds. When I came to see how my work was doing, the painting was
all blue. Those blues are the stainer colors! So there's a lesson for all you watercolor artists out there:
Keep all light (that has ultraviolet rays) well away from your work.
