I have had this 12″x12″ watercolor canvas sitting around and I thought I would do a tulip painting on it, but when I was looking through my flower photos I came across some sunflowers and one just about jumped out at me. The photo is one I took when we went to the Denver [...]

The other day I started on a new piece. I was looking through some papers I have thinking that I may do a collage. I found a piece of white paper that has a fan like design. I don’t remember the names of these art papers, but this one is fan like and [...]

Last week was mostly a wash as far as my getting anything finished in the studio. I did finally finish a watercolor yesterday, but can’t post the pic yet as it is a present for my daughter and she reads this blog:)

I have been so busy reading everyone else’s blog, that I forgot all about mine:)
