About the author: I begin my watercolor paintings with an idea and a drawing. I build the painting layer by layer, drawing lines and shapes, looking for rhythm and feeling. My color sense is a reflection of my childhood in New Mexico fused with colors of my home in the Northwest. My goal is to go beyond the surface to find joy, wonder and a bit of mystery. I have shown my works in galleries, juried, group and solo shows in Washington, Oregon, Montana and New Mexico. My paintings are in private collections in the west, New York and Norway.

Update: there were about 500 artists participating in the challenge! What fun! I’d like to share my initial impressions of “lessons learned” for doing the challenge. Goal Accomplished! But […]

Its About Doing Studies. What I’d like to do with today’s article is talk to you about why I do studies. You might have noticed that I’m called my drawings and paintings for the Strada Easel challenge “studies”. I’m doing that for a reason: I’m studying! With this article, I’ll also be current in posting […]

For my first piece, I decided to try Daniel Smith‘s “Moonglow”, a lovely blend of pigments that make a nice neutral grayish tint. The experiment? Getting a feel for how the blend of pigments handles. This first study was done […]

But, not everyone has Facebook. More to the point, I like to have my studies, paintings and drawings posted here. […]
