Note: I DO NOT share my watercolors because I think they are perfect. Quite the contrary. I am self-teaching and learning, and I hope I can encourage other would be painters to join me in the journey 🙂 Remember… I’m not seeking perfection, I’m seeking JOY. As my love affair with watercolors continues, not only …

The only thing better than giving a child a wooden toy that can last for generations, is giving them a wooden toy that you made yourself.

Watercolors

Although I can’t say I enjoy watercoloring as much I enjoy gardening, it has become a close second. And, as my ability to vigorously garden is diminishing, it couldn’t have come at a better time!

I did a series of 4 barnyard animals for another project, and when …
