In the Mist of my Mind

Soft edges and rich, atmospheric washes bring a deeply personal memory to life in In the Mist of My Mind. This watercolor reproduction captures Al Sprague’s childhood home along Croatan Street in the former Canal Zone—a classic wooden house topped with a traditional metal roof and enveloped by lush tropical surroundings. Adding an intimate layer of family history, the small tree standing proudly in the foreground was planted by the artist's sister, Terry. Sprague paints this quiet sanctuary with gentle nostalgia, weaving personal story, green landscape, and Canal Zone architecture into a timeless memory.
