Hurray! I am here. A place to post discoveries, favorites and talk about the experience that goes beyond the material and what brings me here in the first place to this most difficult (really) media.

And here is where I am going so look out. This blog is all about watercolor. The pleasure, the joy of it and the trouble of it, this hobby I have finally claimed after all these years of trying and deciding it was just too much and backing away and then as though watercolor were knocking on my door, knock knock knock – I once again open the door, at last I surrendered and said look for better or worse this habit is not going away I may as well jump in a get wet. Also, somewhere I think I should mention I spent years drawing in model-drawing sessions sans teachers.

About a year ago handprint.com jettisoned me forward and past the intimidation of color and paint choices. Peggy Macnamara’s how-to book taught me the brilliance of multi-layering patiently…well lets just say it has been a very long journey full of many great teachers (I mean authors, actually I never knew any watercolorists at all-too bad for me!). I think the journey into my painting as a serious leisure activity starting in High school, where one of my best friends (from Paris) inspired me in many ways and opened up many doors for me in my thinking and creating.
