End of Day
by Georgia Henry

Watercolor on Arches paper; 12 x 18 in.

This was a last visit to the Wildwood, NJ, shore for my aunt who was about to enter a retirement home. She lived in Wildwood during her second late-in-life marriage to a wonderful man who had died, and her children wanted her near them in the Philadelphia suburbs. While she napped before we left that night, I painted this view of the bay from the deck, completing it upon my return home. I felt it reflected the endings that were surrounding us at that time.

  

GEORGIA HENRY is a poet by avocation, but has been a professional artist for over 25 years, and has been painting and sketching from an early age. She sold her first painting, a pastel of President John F. Kennedy, just after his assassination. She was 16 and made $300. She has since sold many commissioned portraits, but occassionally paints other subjects with acrylic.
