WATERCOLOR COLLECTION

I love painting in watercolor. This is a mix of portraits and pieces I did for a "Sitting In Moods" collection that started with Bernie Saunders sitting in a mood during the inauguration that went viral with his demeanor and knit wooly mittens. Check out these pieces done on archive paper. Each piece is small elevating the time and skill to get it feeling right.

STRADA still life COLLECTION

Strada Easel does a daily art challenge every September and January where you paint a new still life everyday. A challenge indeed  to keep finding a new still life to paint from everyday but such fun! You can see how each day a new style would emerge, nice to just paint instinctually and not plan anything in advance. Get a piece while they are available.
