I decided that it is time to really explore painting in water colors. I’ve been nervous about using them all my life, and only applied them to very small pieces. At least I’ve graduated to a larger format, and I’m not unhappy with the results.

I started this painting several years ago and never felt very good about it; consequently it got stuck in a stack of paintings and was forgotten. I was burrowing through the stack back in May when my painting buddy was in town for a visit; she spotted it and praised it. Consequently I looked at it with new eyes and realized that it simply wasn’t finished! A bit more paint and polish and it was done. Just goes to show that sometimes a failed work just isn’t quite completed!

A wonderful, happy accident! I was hoping to get a closeup of the bumblebees as they swarmed through the lavender blossoms, but the crazy bugs were not sitting still long enough for me to focus! So I decided to just point, shoot, and hope…and this one turned out!

Reliving memories of Tuscany, and preparing for my solo show at the Green Hills Public Library in Nashville. I prefer to work on a larger scale, but sometimes it is preferable to paint smaller pieces!
