A fun mixed media piece with decorative papers collaged on to a canvas for a base and then I painted loose flowers and leaves and added words for a bright, happy message.
SPRING TREASURES & A Place To Paint
SPRING TREASURES
Watercolor - 11x14
I always tell my workshop students when they ask how they can improve their paintings that they need to start painting more at home. To do that, it is helpful to set up some kind of an art area. Whether it is a small table or a corner of a room or a large studio space it is very helpful to be able to leave your painting supplies out so that you can start creating immediately with out having to drag everything out and get it set up. A dedicated art area will help you stay focused and motivated to create.

MIXED MEDIA MONDAY - Sunflower Barn
SUNFLOWER BARN
Watercolor Collage - 11x15
I love driving along country roads and seeing old barns, they evoke a sense of nostalgia and represent a simpler time. I feel like they symbolize hard work and endurance and their weathered appearance seem to whisper stories from their past.
I also love bright, happy sunflowers so I decided to combine the two in this watercolor collage painting, SUNFLOWER BARN. The beauty of being an artist is that we can create our own, special world.

SUN DANCE - Study and Practice
SUN DANCE
Watercolor - 11x14
Study and practice are the key to success in most areas of life and art is no different. Many artists like to paint daily because it helps them feel comfortable with their medium and builds confidence. Along with this practice, you also need to study and understand composition, value, color, drawing and edges to improve your paintings. Without this knowledge, you may continue to repeat the same bad habits and not grow as an artist.
