The event location was incredible. I loved having the class overlooking the Mississippi River. greeted us warmly and came prepared with easels, extra paints, brushes, and mixing pallets. He guided us to sketch the view and helped us pick out the appropriate colors for our painting. He gave us the time to independently work on our projects with his guidance. His suggestions and encouragement were perfect. We left with a new interest and love of painting.

Title or Location: Transparency Floral in Collierville TN
I am a beginner painter, just started June 2024 and after one month of practicing different types of techniques, I decided to try this transparency painting. I have never painted and love watching watercolor painting videos. So, I decide to invest in watercolor materials and give it a try. I was fascinated by how the layers of flower petals could be seen behind each petal and wondered if I could create such an image. Plus, I wanted to try the background wash technique as well. Each day I pai

Title or Location: Wild Carrots At Dusk
I named this watercolor "Wild Carrot At Dusk" (18"x14.25") I wanted to capture the sun setting on some Wild Carrots or Dacus Carota you probably call it Queen Anne's Lace. This painting is part of a series where I am working to feature everyday things in our environment to celebrate them and have the viewer look closer at their glory. Therefore I use beautiful colors and knockout textures to bring out the beauty in nature, hopefully making you look twice. The symbolism of this wild flower is san

Title or Location: "Reflection"
I decided during the ice and cold weather we had recently to set up a quiet place around my recliner with a blanket, my watercolor pads and easel to take some time to enjoy the week painting. I turned on youtube videos of aquatic ocean with relaxing meditation music. All of a sudden my brush decided to paint "Reflection" from the imprint of the marine bold and beautiful movements I was watching. Taking all of those movements creating a piece of artwork that can speak without saying words gives s

Title or Location: Autumn in the forest
I got inspired by the cooler air and wanted to paint a river in a forest where the leaves were changing color. It?s a small piece (6x4?) but I am hoping to replicate it in a larger format.

Title or Location: Scottsdale, AZ
I painted this for a challenge posted on the Art by Paul Clark FB group page. The reference photo was taken in Devonshire, England. I used a Bee Paper sketchbook and miscellaneous paints. I?ve been working on learning dry brush technique in watercolor for a while I I think I?ve finally mastered it as evidence by the trees in this one.

Title or Location: Hanging in There
This was a piece we were tasked with in a local watercolor class at the Creative Arts Center in Dallas with Sarah Janice. The intent was to replicate the various textures and wetness of the subject with preserving the white of the paper.
