TEE SHIRT!!

Tee Shirt... with all the

WATERCOLOR RULES!!!

The one-of-a-kind tee shirt grew out of my workshop in Baltimore a couple of weeks ago.

A student mentioned she wished that she had my 'rules' close by ... when she continues to paint.

We were brainstorming...and came up with the tee shirt format.

I asked for a list of rules that were important to them -- and condensed it down to the 10 pictured here.

Kristen Powers-- artist extraordinaire..... did the design and lettering.

Isn't it GREAT??

I will be offering them at the Menucha workshop-- and hopefully my students will want them enough to buy 'em!

Love this shirt.. and so happy to be introducing it here.

ALPACAS!

I took the day off...and went to an Alpaca farm. Boy.. was that amazing!

It was remote in Illinois... Calhoun County ... by the town of Hardin.

So so quaint!

The alpacas were owned by a friend....and are taken care of royally.

They live on a bluff-- with a view of the Mississippi River.

Such beautiful and noble animals!

The owner harvests their fleece for garments and rugs. They are so soft...and so gentle.

What a treat to learn about their care -- and see their gentle kindness.

Thank you Kathy-- for opening your farm and letting us enjoy your world!

To Market Pig

I did this small piglet-- as a painting to share with my workshop at Menucha coming up next weekend.

The original 'big" pig has sold...so I needed a smaller version to take with me.

He is a happy pig--- and will illustrate how to get variety with just three pigments-- Alizarin Crimson, Burnt Sienna, and Mineral Violet.

Swimmer

This swimmer is small and delicate and done as a tutorial for my recent watercolor class.

I enjoyed sharing all of my techniques and observations about figure painting in the lesson.

The colors are different-- guided by a need to shake things up a bit in my predictable portfolio.

BWS workshop was so great.... the students were attentive, motivated, and such good artists!

State Fair Pig finds a new home!

I sold the beloved State Fair Pig to some great clients!

They loved the painting...and purchased it for their collection.

I am so happy and thrilled that he has a good home.

This is the only painting of mine that had a "fan club!"
