Sharing my passion of watercolor painting, sketching, and photography
A little doodle that I’ve been working on for a few weeks.
Happy Thursday, friends!
Sometimes its hard to know when to stop.
I wanted to leave enough white space in the swirls and not over do it.
It feels right now, I finally put down the pen. 😄
I hope you are inspired to create art and do what you love.
Until next time, share a smile and shine on!

An abstract painting today inspired by artist Jean Haines.
Happy Thursday! 😀
Abstract willow – 9 x 12 inch watercolor
I’ve been practicing and playing with color. I imagined a different result for this painting, something a little less abstract. Instead of trying to change where things were going, I just let it be.
I’m glad I did that, what a nice surprise. 💙💜
Until next time, share a smile and shine on.
Happy Painting!

Another lavender watercolor to share with you today.
Happy Sunday, friends! 😊💜
9 x 12 inch Lavender Bliss
Wet on wet technique with a limited color palette:
Daniel Smith Cobalt Teal Blue, French Ultramarine, and Quinacridone Rose
Brushes used: Round 14, Round 12, and Liner 2
Oh how I love these colors together. I was able to get a nice range of purples by mixing my own. I think the variety adds some interest and it just makes me happy.
Color mixing tip: French Ultramarine and Quinacridone Rose were used to mix different shades of purple. It’s as simple as changing the amount of each color to create a nice variety.
I hope you are inspired to create art and do what you love. Thank you for stopping by and following me on this creative journey. Until next time, share a smile and have a great week.
Happy Painting! 💜

A little watercolor practice painting roses using a limited palette. Another fun exercise in Jean Haines’ new book, Atmospheric Flowers in Watercolour.
Happy Sunday, friends!
9 x 12 Reasons in Blue – Canson Watercolor sketchbook
I have a few of Jean’s books and have learned so much from them. Her books are full of gorgeous paintings, inspiration, and fun exercises. I painted these loose roses following along with her simply blue exercise.
Blue is my favorite color so I was pulled in. This exercise was a good chance to practice her technique of putting down color in a circular pattern and then using a clean damp brush to push and pull color to indicate rose petals.
It fills my heart with joy to be able to create art and share it with all of you. I encourage you to have fun and do what you love. Art is for everyone, we can all create, we are all artists!
Happy Painting!
