This book gives the viewer an intimate experience with nature in my own personal familiar home vicinity. The four watercolor paintings included in this fold-out accordion book were made en plein air in December of 2023. The sites included are four scenic focal points in my front yard painted in chronological order. They show Ann Arbor's fluctuating cold to warm weather patterns and how they affect the nature around us. Note how the snow surrounds the fall leaves and because of a heatwave, by the fourth painting has melted to reveal the mossy green and rocks on the ground. The backside of the book includes a decorative repeating pattern printed from woodblock.
