"Hallelujah
Hollyhocks"
Through
watercolor, I have found the perfect expression of my love of
color. I began painting watercolors in the fall of 1998,
after retirement from a career in education. I have
experimented with several different styles of watercolor:
realistic portrayals, floral samplers, impressionistic "plein air"
paintings, and an abstracted "imargination" style.
Though my florals seem to be popular, I also enjoy painting
children, landscapes, and other facets of nature.
