Meredith was very engaging, easy to talk with. Mount Echo was a beautiful setting for the class.

Great park setting. Doing a color study was a great way to begin & warm up and shake off any nerves. I really like the color wheel template. I could see starting in a similar way but with a specific technique to practice before beginning the painting.

The venue was nice, but the weather made it difficult to walk around or look for other areas to paint from. When it's rainy or cold, perhaps a preemptive reschedule would be good. Of the 5 signed up only 2 of us showed. The instruction was good for a very basic beginner class. Meredith was fantastic and so very welcoming.

I painted this one for a watercolour weekly challenge on FB where the subject was fish. My goldfish is looking up towards daylight. I spattered clean water on damp paint to give the impression of light dispersion in shallow water. I like the effect of clean water pushing paint away to add interest and light.

This A3 watercolor was done as a commission for a Texas based charity called Leave it for the Pooch. They approached me in 2021 and asked if I would like to donate some of my work for their yearly raffle that raises money for animal rescue. I was very happy to be a part of this and for the last 4 years have done a special piece just for this auction and send to Texas as my contribution for this cause. "Loving Lessons" is this years painting. My daughter has always had a special bond with

Title or Location: ?Emptying the Sea?
I had taken my grand children to the beach in Buckroe, Virginia. My three year old granddaughter, Mia was quite serious and intent on getting all the water she could in her little red pail to haul it back on the beach to a sand castle she was building. Her actions were so beautifully innocent and yet filled with determination. I just had to capture the moment.
