Recovering author whose muses jumped ship and put a paintbrush in my hand. I paint what I feel an emotional connection with whether it’s places I have been or emotions I feel.

I once painted this at a different angle. Love your photo. The colors are so crisp!

You do what feels right in the moment. You will create your own style.

The #FebruArty word today is #Sweet. This couple strolled through Falmouth; crooked backs, cocked hips, canes clicking; holding hands and swaying in a dance they’ve done forever. #watercolor #watercolour #artistherapy

#puzzle for #FebruArty ummm, I’m perplexed. Ah ha! From my acrylic pouring days, “Hawaiian Waterfall”- working with the relative gravity of hues was definitely puzzling. Not #watercolor #watercolour today but still #artistherapy.

#FebruArty #Fishyfebruary calling for fish. This is the best I could do. A jaunty little seahorse and a sumptuous shrimp painted on canvas with watercolor and then sealed. Always available. #watercolor #watercolour #artistherapy

I’m not sure what a starter pack is but always willing to learn😊

I laughed at your process…. sounds familiar! I have to push myself through, what I call, the ugly stage! It’s a dance to get the right balance and rhythm and when you do… The dance is over and it’s time for a new song to dance to.

The EYES have it for #FebruArty. The most unique eyes I’ve ever painted; a quiet moment in #Kenya, “Serengeti Lullaby” is painted on #300 cold press, matted and framed. Just returned from a long gallery stint #watercolor #watercolour Message for details and pics if interested. #artistherapy

@mareider.bsky.social Hi!! Glad to see you here! There’s a learning curve but you can curate what you want to see and block what you do not want to see. ♥️

Do you throw these and shape or are they hand built? I love these.

Thank you! I love the challenge of watercolor because I am not always in control and am forced to work with what water has given me. 😊

#FebruArty post today. A magical moment in my travels. Kilimanjaro to my back, these elephants emerged from the brush on their “Evening Stroll”, pausing a moment say hello. #300 cold press #Artyear #watercolor #watercolour #artistherapy

The word today is PURPLE- thanks, #FebruArty! Purple was my nemesis but we danced and I learned it is the perfect color for irises and shadow. Now, we are frienemys. #watercolor #watercolour #artistherapy

@subicrn.bsky.social just found you! #FebrArty word today is FUZZY. My family’s special place is the beach. My parents are gone and my sister and I are old but I painted a beautiful memory from 1970 where we could all be Together Again #watercolor #watercolour #artistherapy #ghostimages

Shoes- wow, #FebruArty that is tough but here’s my take: Mittens in the Summer Mist is sporting a new set of shoes after a visit from the farrier. A commission piece on #300 cold press. #Watercolor #watercolour #artistherapy

#FebruArty word of the day is LIGHT.This is “Ellie’s Bouquet” in April of 2020 a 5 year old’s first year of school abruptly ended, she couldn’t play with friends.She went out & picked a dandelion bouquet. A light in a dark time. This was my first painting. #watercolor #watercolour #artistherapy
