Watercolor: View Looking Through a Door, to the Inside of a Small Plane Hanger, Then Out the Other Side, to the Outdoors (Title by Me)

I have a question: Why? I am scratching my head, trying to figure out what my Mom had to do with a hanger for a small plane - what her motivation was for painting this.....Her folks did have a home in farmland....Maybe this scene is of a crop-spraying plane, in a hanger - an image she remembered from that time and area? Or, maybe, in more recent times, she visited a friend/acquaintance who had a plane? I don't know! But, since she enjoyed sketching buildings and architecture too, however she came across this sight, maybe she just thought it looked so cool she had to paint it!

And it DOES look cool! At first, I didn't quite know where I was going to put this one, because its so different. But then, after having it framed, with a sparkly silver mat around it, that silver made the silver of the lamp-lights in the picture pop, and so I loved it even more! Further, I found a perfect (though also kind of different) place for it! It brought that little piece of wall, off to the side, to life - created a fun little doorway/window to the outside there, because of the open doorwayS, leading to the great outdoors in the painting! AND, the golden wood colored paneling of the wall, running horizontally, 100000% (I know...) complemented the light-colored wood paneling, running vertically, in the picture!!!

So, did that all jive just perfectly?? Why, YES, it did!  :)

(P.S. I live in a small space here now, and so this is a totally visible in open "closet" area, so this picture is included in the main living space - and I get to see it and admire it every day. The photo you see here, at the bottom, anyway, was taken at night. The little balls of light, in each of the top two pictures, are actually not in the painting, but are reflections on the glass. The just happened to occur in really nice spots for this painting. )  :)

(P.S.S! You know what? Looking at this picture some more here though, I'm finding it to be cleverly/amusingly/lightly  mind-bending though, because, yes, now I'm realizing that I'm looking IN, through a door, to the INSIDE of this small building, but am also looking OUT the other side of the building, through a door/ open wall....! Hmm! So, I Just had to change my title!! Yup - my Mom was a bit of a teaser [frequently].  :)
