Last month I felt very indugent when I bought this leather-bound jounal for myself. The paper inside, is hand-made and acid free. I plan to write on the back and paint on the front.
I can express myself in this jounal and is a place to play and not be so serious.
The first painting is of a yellow rose that grew in my garden. The species of rose is so fragent. The vase is a small milk bottle that I lifted from my daughter. She would not be turning this one in for her deposit.
I am a watercolor artist. My paintings are bold, and full of color. Most of my work takes time. The world around me is my inspiration. A camera is in my hand whereever I go.
I like a painting to be strong enough in composition to be appealing from across the room, but when viewed up close I my audience should enjoy the details.
Watercolor has so many attitudes and possibilities, I am always exploring.
Most people comment on how unforgiving watercolor is. If good paper is used it is very forgiving. Being and educator I love to teach classes. I first instruct students on how to control brushes, the flow of paint and of course the water.
I teach beginning to advanced students. Many opt to pay a little more to use my supplies solely. This is an excellent way to learn that success depends on the foundation of good materials. This is very cost efficient for beginners also. I always say there is an artist in everyone.

I should have charged you the $1.50 I paid for that bottle deposit! Pretty book...I just started a new one too.
