nest not empty

a little painting for some parents who's youngest (of 6) just left for university. they are feeling a little weirded-out by the "empty nest" but now they have a heart for each child instead of an egg to mind. they are all dolled up because they can go on to go on lots of dates again.

this is my first attempt with watercolours (since childhood). it was harder than i thougt it would be and of course things got muddy and heavy-handed... but i'll keep trying. eventually i'll land on something that works for me.
