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.

The Value of Color Studies. Greetings! I am going to give you a short introduction about why I do color studies, then outline how I devised my own color study project. Finally, I’ll share with you some of the lessons I learned by doing the studies. And, I might add, it is the “doing” that […]

In drawing and painting there are “rules” or suggested conventions that help artists organize their creations. I find many of the rules useful, though I find it helpful to remember that rules change with time. Also, not everyone agrees on the rules. In this small painting, I have broken a rule that I generally follow. […]
