“Lavender Blues” Watercolor, 15” x 10”
I have always loved the look of watercolor and its versatility.
“Honeysuckle Bliss” Watercolor, 14” x 10”
The transparency, glow, and vibrancy of color is so amazing to me. I used to be a nurse so I feel like I’ve gone from being a “pill pusher” to being a “pigment pusher”! Color and the interaction of pigments is such a thrill.
“If I Were a Bumble Bee” Watercolor, 11” x 15”
Watercolor is the best medium for expecting the unexpected, or a happy accident.
“Flower of the Holy Night” Watercolor, 14” x 10”
It didn’t take long to realize I would never master this medium, but that is what makes it so addicting! Sometimes I have to put on my No- Fear shirt and just go for it so I can see what watercolor and I can do together.
“Cascading Clematis” Watercolor, 10” x 16”
I hope my paintings convey the passion I have for color, and hopefully people will be enticed to pause and savor the dynamic results of this beautiful medium.
“Chubby Cherries” Watercolor, 17” x 10”
I like to paint from photos that I have taken of flowers, fruits, vegetables, and my grandchildren. I like detail work and flowers/fruit/vegetables feel like the best fit for my style.
“Not a Pair” Watercolor, 23” x 26”
I’m currently working on a pink Rhododendron bloom, a popular flower in Western Washington where I was raised. I also just started working on painting another grandchild.
“Kaleb’s Moment of Reflection” Watercolor, 16” x 11”
My painting process is careful and slow with lots of layers of glazing with my size 14 round that has a good point and belly, and then softening of edges with my half-inch flat brush. Those are my two workhorses. I use larger brushes for background work so I can cover more paper with speed.
“Going Green” Watercolor, 17” x 11”
The minute you put paint down, it is already starting to dry, and that is the challenge for obtaining a seamless wash.
“Feathered Friends” Watercolor, 10” x 13”
I am very grateful for the two awards I’ve received where I live, one in 2015 and another in 2016. I’d love to be seen nationwide. Seeing my work published in an art magazine and/or Splash would be awesome!
