New Year, New Direction!


Hi everyone! I hope 2024 is going well for all of you 

It has been a while since I posted on my blog because I am just having too much fun with our retired life. We live on a beautiful lake and I seem to stay very busy with family, friends, golf, pickle ball, traveling, making art, teaching art and volunteering with our local Art Guild.

So, I won't be posting on my blog going forward but you can still see my latest art projects in my Etsy Shop  and on my Pinterest boards.

Happy creating and I wish you all the very best on your own Artistic Journey!

PASSION ROSES

PASSION ROSES
Watercolor - 8x10

~ Allow your passion to become your purpose ~



SUNFLOWER FUN - Yupo

SUNFLOWER FUN
Watercolor on Yupo - 11x17

I painted SUNFLOWER FUN on yupo paper and used oil pastel to draw it on. The pastel acts as a resist to the watercolor paints and allows for a little more control while painting on the slick surface.

ISLAND HIBISCUS

ISLAND HIBISCUS
Watercolor - 11x14

Sometimes I like to paint a border around my main subject, in this case the two hibiscus. I allowed some of the leaves and petals to overlap the border and used plastic wrap on wet paint to create the fun texture.

One of my favorite fall activities is to go apple picking in the beautiful mountains of North Carolina. Having the grandkids come along is just icing on the cake!
