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.

Drawing My creative process begins with drawing. Because it is how I develop ideas, I feel that it is important for me to draw often. I work at it daily, though I don’t always complete a drawing. One of my most enjoyable types of drawings are these “simple” works done with watercolor and graphite. These […]

Recently I’ve been reading online about John Singer Sargent’s work habits. I learned that he did a large number of drawings and watercolor studies before he painted his major works. As I stand here in front of my watercolor studies and drawings, I’m reminded that even the great artists put many miles of painting […]

After my success with the appaloosa (see previous post), I thought I would try two horses, up the complexity. I succeeded in making a more difficult composition. At the end of the 37 minutes, I thought I ought to be making more drawings of horses. I did another study of my appaloosa model; fortunately […]

I thought I’d switch subjects and work on 37 minute paintings of my horse models. I use Breyer Reeves horses as my models. They are small, which works better than I would think. I don’t see as much detail as my mind wants. I try to focus on the form of the horse as indicated […]

Right now I’m learning from a 400-pound animal with the brain of a three-year old child, as I train a Shetland pony to pull a cart. Ponies, like horses, are prey animals whose first instinct is to fight or flee, so this can be a daunting and humbling task. My CEO/Executive Director-self has no gravitas […]
