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.

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 […]
