Italian Cherry Swirls, Watercolor with White Gouache on Paper, 5x7 in

It's been quite a year. Learning to use watercolor turned out to be quite an ambitious project! But it's been exciting and stimulating too. And there's still so much to learn.

Thanks to all my friends for following along with me this past year as I wandered down my artistic path. All your encouragement and support helped to keep me going. I hope your own path is full of joy and meaning for you, and I wish you a sweet and wonderful new year.

Thanks, Janette. To be honest I'm not exactly sure when I started with watercolors, probably a little more than a year. But 2018 was definitely dedicated to it. In earnest.

I should start prescrbing your artwork as an antidote for anxiety. I tend to feel such inner peace when I look at your work. I don't know if it's your grounded, loving energy that's infused in your work, the sensual brush strokes, the beautiful colors, or what but I love your creations! I want to eat this picture it looks so good!

Paula, what a kind thing to say, thank you! Interesting that you should pick up on the energy. Because at least for me, painting requires a certain concentration and a kind of meditative state ... or else the painting doesn't come out quite right.

It is always fun to see your watercolors. For someone who is fairly new to this medium you do some exceptional work!

I'm a representational painter enchanted by the unique qualities of watercolor. Sometimes oils, gouache, colored pencils and other media call to me too. I started this blog to share my work and ideas about making art. Sometimes I toss other things into the mix. Such as painters I love, and art books and exhibits that inspire me. Your comments are welcome. I'd love to hear from you!
