| Snowscape Perhaps many of you who follow my art have realized that I have been struggling with painting for a couple of years now. In an attempt to recapture my love of painting, I went back to the basics, contacting my former instructor, Linda Nadel in Montrose. She was always fun to paint with, so I thought that she would be the one to get my juices flowing again. We spent 4 Thursday afternoons in April cussing and discussing the ups and downs of creativity and playing with paint. I can't say right now if I will continue painting on my own on a regular basis, but those 4 afternoons were so much fun and brought pleasure back to a process that had become a chore. Thanks Linda!! The above painting came out of our first meeting together. I had brought in photos and magazines to give us inspiration. This was an exercise in creativity in a recent issue of Watercolor magazine. It demonstrates the fluidity and "looseness" that I have wanted to portray in my work. The original was created by Carol Z. Brody. The above is my version. |

I don't know anything about water color art. But I really like what I have seen of your "work". Only you, the artist, can know if it lights your fire or not...and when. There are a few things that I'm really good at, wood working for example. But when I realized I was doing it for money, for others, it stopped for me. It had to provide something else, something deeper. And it wasn't. I think it has to give you something...peace, therapy, relaxation...something.
Love, Love, Love it.
I agree with your husband ;-) That is just beautiful!
