Congratulations, Dorothy, on completing this phenomenal 13-year-long project! :-)

Here are Dorothy's words about Watercolour Memories ....

---

For the last thirteen years, I have been compiling my memories to share with my daughters and my grandchildren. I have now written a small book to share these memories of my happy childhood.

Watercolour Memories – Seasons of My Childhood is a limited print, self-published memoir of my charmed and nostalgic childhood memories from when I was very little to around age eleven, between the years 1943 and 1954.

Written for my two daughters, I am also giving copies to my extended families, my six siblings and their families and so they also can share in the happy times of how we grew up with our sleeping porch, books we read, holiday traditions, schools we attended, the games we played, wildflower garden, treats, and many more happy memories.

This book started out not as a book at all, but a list of happy memories and grew to one hundred plus memories.

As an artist, I wanted to see if I could sketch some of these happy times and in the end, over ninety memories have been sketched and painted in watercolour, on postcard-size watercolour paper, all included in the book. Chapters are divided by season Autumn, Winter, Spring & Summer.

What a happy stroll it was with one memory rekindling another.

Below are a few pages from the book.

Enjoy,

Dorothy
