Hello Artist Friends,

I'm so glad you're interested in joining me on ZOOM!! 

Tuesday Dec.9, '25 from 6-8pm ET. 

During this 2 hour Watercolour Workshop we'll paint your favourite letter and surround it with lovely simple flowers. The lesson is all about COLOUR and DESIGN. You'll choose a palette of selected colours, that suits you, and then place pretty flowers or holly around the edges. It makes for a lovely composition with a personal touch. 

 

This artwork makes a great gift! It can also be turned into a card for someone special this holiday season. (Or just keep it for yourself!)

 

I will share my screen with you so you can paint-a-long as we create our watercolour paintings. My Zoom set up makes it easy for you to watch me painting on your computer or iPad screen. (iPhone viewing is not recommended since the screen is too small).

little gateway

 

$80 

5x7" original watercolour painting in an 8x10" acid-free mat

This "little gateway" was painted on location when a group of friends and I went out to one of my favourite parks. The simple 3 logs that make up an entrance are so beautiful. There is just something gentle about it's construction. Once I drew it I, of course, added lots (and lots) of colour.
