Professionally matted and framed behind glass this off set lithograph is signed & numbered. It is reported that Harris has a collection of 30 limited edition prints. His paintings offer diversity of subject matter, featuring landscapes, coastal scenes, mountains and pastorals, historic architecture, and interesting people. Most of Harris's paintings focus on the natural beauty of the earth and the picturesque scenery of North and South Carolina, but he also paints subject matter from his travels throughout the US. This picture attracts the emotions of a warm home on a cold snowy day in a country/rural setting.

Working in transparent watercolor, Harris has mastered a dry brush technique that enables him to paint with a unique richness of color and a control and clarity rarely seen in watercolors. "My style requires complete control of water and pigment. Watercolors can be very unforgiving, but when the creativity flows, they yield a touch of magic. Their translucence allows me to engage the viewer in the painting. My goal is to evoke a specific feeling within each viewer so they are participants in my art," Harris says. " I hope to entice people into the scene, to create a stirring in the heart for the beauty of our surroundings, both touched and untouched by human existence.
