Description
This is a beautiful English fall country scene that my grandmother painted many years ago. It brings back wonderful memories for me of Grandma's house. Back then the watercolor technique she used made her paintings look very much like an oil in some ways. Because the original colors had badly faded and become washed out she had hidden it away in her private collection of paintings that she had done... not wanting anyone to see it.
For the past twenty years I didn't know how to restore it either... until I recently learned how to use Photoshop! Now if she could only see that her faded painting has been restored! By digitally enhancing this image I was able to bring this beautiful painting back to life again.♥
