Get up close with flowers and the insects that love them! A photograph should bring the audience a new experience, and we will focus on the details most people simply walk past. We will practice getting clear, colorful and interesting pictures that capture the imagination of the viewer.

As Monarch butterflies prepare to migrate, we should be able to capture them feeding before their long trek. This is also a great time for bees to begin preparing for winter by stocking up on pollen from the plentiful early fall blooms.

Title or Location: Relax and Feel the Calm
This is a water color painting based on a photo I took last year when visiting MT. Love the wide open spaces and the beautiful sky. This photo was taken while sitting and relaxing along a river in Bigfork. Love to enjoy the views and then incorporate into my paintings. Water colors are such a great choice for landscapes because of the way they flow and blend together just like nature.

Title or Location: Peek-a-Boo
Spring is in the air. I have recently been doing some daffodil paintings. For this painting I did a wash and instantly saw the potential for more daffodils and space for the lamb peeking through them. One of my former instructors always said, ?Listen to your painting.? This is exactly what I did here. Possibly, the idea of a lamb was inspired by the season of Easter as well.

I had been painting for about 3 months, watching tutorials on uou tube, practicing different techniques. I was feeling confident. I had a blank sheet and some inspirational pictures around me and started to build a picture. Once the flow came it was like a wave, not stopping until I wad happy, finishing it off with the bee in the flower. I love bees. Felt overjoyed at my achievement in this piece.

A Duplex owner decided to run a cafe in the CBD. It became very successful with people gathering all hours of the morning. I had an hour to wait for an appointment in town, so I sketched this on location. DS watercolour on 300gsm cotton.

I started painting during Covid, mostly flowers, and YouTube tutorials.

Persistence is the name of the game. I am quite pleased with this one!

Title or Location: View From Dugout Wells
Located in Big Bend Nat'l Park, TX., Dugout Wells has a working windmill, providing water to the small parcel of desert surrounding it. The view of the Chisos Mountain Range was spectacular on this cool windy morning. I have painted at this spot on several occasions. 10 x 14 watercolor.

Title or Location: Lunch Counter/ Madrid Spain
Went to Spain for 2 weeks a year ago. While thrilled to see the work of Velasquez, Goya, Microsoft and Picasso, it was a treat to be part of everyday life there. This was a scene I photographed at an enormous Farmers Market. The color of the bread caught my eye. Madrilenos have wine with lunch. So civilized.

Title or Location: Calm Waters
This is the first painting I?ve done from my imagination, and my 5th watercolour painting. Done on a drizzly Sunday afternoon in between cooking a family dinner. I wanted to test a set of granulating paints for the first time to see what effects I could get, using only 1 colour granulating paint and Paynes Grey, it?s created quite a moody evening effect. I?m looking forward to learning more about watercolour and developing my skills.
