Country Home

Ray McNeice

"Ah, the glorious colour of Autumn in Canada! Ray McNeice had sketched this
scene in the summer a couple of years ago. He decided, before the leaves had
all fallen, that he would paint a watercolour and turn it into an exercise
in expressing the beauty of the Autumn season."

Make sure to visit Ray at Studio 18.
