Backyard

Arka Bahçe, Sapanca

“Backyard” was inspired by a photo I took from the backyard of my sister’s farm house in Sapanca, which is one and a half hours away from Istanbul.

Watercolor technique was used, hand quilted. Presented to my brother in law Samil Atan. “Backyard” was displayed at various local shows in Turkey.
