What’s New
November, 2019 I spent a lot of time in my garden and in the community this spring and summer. I’m heading into my painting season with several portrait commissions on my board and a private watercolor student. Contact me if you are interested in commissioning a portrait or mentoring for your progress as a watercolor painter. Here are some of the portrait commissions I have done:

Her Classics and His Classics Have Found their Loving Homes!
June 25, 2019 Much has happened since my last post on April 1, 2016. Picking up where I left off… In February Her Classics was purchased by a lifelong friend and his wife; and in June, another long-time friend purchased His Classics. This makes me happy, as these were two of my favorite paintings!

Judy Morris Workshop: Better Watercolors From Start to Finish
I used my prize money from ArtWorksNW, for my painting, “Over the Top!,” to take a fabulous 4-day workshop from Judy Morris at Emerald Art Center this November in Springfield. We learned many valuable lessons about composition, choosing color chords, and creating textural interest in our paintings. Here are a couple of my favorites of her paintings. The Story is always an important component in each of her paintings, and she told a great story about “Guinness at Six,” below. Judy overheard a young woman at a show interpreting this painting: “The suits, briefcase and shiny black shoes represent the corporate world; the beer represents the average citizen, and they have no heads because the two can never see eye to eye!”

ArtWorks NW 2012 2nd Place Award!
My watercolor painting, "Over the Top!" won the Second Place Award at Umpqua Valley Arts Association's ArtWorks NW 2012 northwest regional juried show!! Juror was internationally recognized sculptor Michael Cooper.
Over the Top!
Two hundred and fifty-four entries were submitted and 43 works, both two- and three-dimensional, were chosen for this "best-ever at UVAA" show. It is very unusual for one artist to have three paintings accepted into one show, but two more of my paintings were also accepted:
Last Rose of Summer
Nuphar lutea
What a thrill for me!!

Loosen Up!
I just finished participating in Vinita Pappas's 3-day online workshop "Loosen Up!" She gave us some valuable tools to use to find our way to greater, happier creativity in our artwork. I hope to be able to use what she taught us to bring a little more mystery into my very literal watercolor paintings. Here is a painting I did in the workshop. It was pretty scary (but very exciting) to try to paint this loosely! Vinita is a great teacher!
