Reading Corner at Kathleen's

About a month ago, I was in San Jose for a teacher conference. I had the good fortune to stay at my friend Kathleen's house, though she was traveling. I took my small (5" x 7") Guerilla pochade box so that I could paint in the evenings. Originally, I had planned to paint in Kathleen's garden. However, by the time I got to her house each day, the light was fading fast. I decided to paint a corner of her living room, which is a cozy reading spot.
