Mountain Incident

On a church youth outing in the mountains years ago, some of the kids improvised a sled using a piece of tin roofing and slid down a slope covered with pine needles. The end result was that one of my friends walked with a limp until the day of his death. I painted the picture below as a reminder. It was done with watercolors on canvas--not a recommended combination as you can see by the spots where the paint has peeled off over the years.
