 It is already the end of April , I can hardly believe it . I do see the light at the end of the tunnel and brighter days ahead . We will all be happy to move on from our Covid +year .  I continue to spend time with The Lord and my paintbrush and have gone through so much paper and paint since my last post .

The Benefits of Covid , lots of time to practice and organize classes Two New Classes starting on October 15 - November 5

 Wow !  It's mid  September already ; the one benefit of  Covid has been quality practice and learning time for me . I feel like I am in Art School as I have been taking advantage of the many online classes available to grow in my own art journey. I hope you have also been able to have quality play time with your brushes and paint . 


Some of my latest adventures have been painting on Full sheets of 22x30 . It has been a real challenge but getting more rewarding with each one . 

 I taught a few live  Zoom classes myself and loved sharing my love of watercolor with all who attended so I am going to try two more starting on Thursday October 15 -November 5 . I am going to make it my Live Zoom Day 

  Beginning Watercolor  Thursdays October 15- November 5  from  10-11 am Eastern 

 Watercolor Travel Sketching  Thursdays October 15- November 5 from   1-2 pm Eastern

Practicing , Painting , Planning and Zooming A Class 6/16 -7/21

Wow ! it has been a while hasn't it and so much has changed in our world. I have taken advantage of our quarantine time to Be Still from Psalm 46:10  to take a few intensive classes ( I actually feel like I am in Art School ) I have also spent time cleaning and organizing my studio , practicing, painting and planning.


 My husband and I have  been keeping in touch with friends via Zoom and I have taken a few classes that way as well . Since I had to cancel so many things I planned I have decided to teach a six week live Zoom Course . The Joy of Watercolor ,  we will cover many fundamentals to painting in watercolor while doing fun exercises. This is a perfect class for someone wanting to learn watercolor as well as an artist wanting to brush up and develop a habit of purposeful practice.

Values , Shape and the Bead , Tenants Harbor Maine Workshop July 21-23, 2020

As October is upon us I am longing for cooler weather and applying all I have learned this year . I have been blessed not only to teach others but to attend a few workshops to help me grow in my own art walk .
Values, Values, Values a tool at the top of my list for this year and I will look forward to teaching and helping you as much as I can . Shapes and the bead , looking at shapes instead of things and following the paint water bead to make smoother washes have also helped me a lot and of course the most important thing has been Practice, Practice and Practice . I know life gets in the was but do try to sketch or do a small painting a day or a few a week . What you learn will be Priceless . 


These are quick pen and wash 9x12 sketches , guess where ? haha 

Here are a few value paintings and their color version 



I am excited to announce my  Joy of Sketching and Watercolor Workshop with Barbara Aras in Tenants Harbor , Maine  July 21-23 , 2020 You can sign up at my website or contact me if you are interested . The class will be limited to assure personal attention . 
Lastly I would like to share a pic of two notes I received recently , from two students . I was thrilled to see they are now making their own cards,  Edie and Joyce I am so proud of you .
