Soon to be finished is my new painting, Spring Blooming Quince  Just a few tweeks and it will be up in my gallery.

I’m so pleased and proud to announce that my work is being featured on Chris Beck’s watercolor blog:  http://brush-paper-water.blogspot.com starting today.

Chris Beck is a San Francisco area watercolorist and a signature member of both the Transparent Watercolor Society of America and Watercolor West.  In her blog, she features a new watercolor artist every other week, letting people from all over the world see work that they would otherwise be unaware of.  It’s a real honor to be included in this showcase of fine watercolor art.

Please take some time and check it out.

Thanks!

Huddled around me are the members of the Southwest Washington Watercolor Society, during my three-day workshop in Vancouver Washington.

Here I am showing Bonnie a couple of fine points of the portrait

Here’s most of the group… (I regret that a couple of students missed this photo)

My sincere appreciation goes out to all the hard working artists in my workshop.   I wish you all good fortune in your artistic endeavors.  And a big hug and thank you to Sheila Martinson, president of SWWS and my hostess for the week.

I was honored to judge the fall art competition for SWWS.  Congratulations to all the winners! Best of Show was Cheryl Roberts, for her beautiful painting “Venice Canal”.  For more info on the show and pictures of the winning artwork  go to:  swwswatercolor.org
