LE LOUVRE

Le Louvre, from start to finish.

MAGENTA NOCTURNE

After a rather wet May, we are finally getting a few stunning sunsets in the mountain. I like to paint nocturne because it's fun to go wild with strong pure colors.

WOODLAND SKETCH

After a very long stretch of wet & grey days, which reminds me of my stay in England...

the sun finally came out!

SACRE COEUR NOCTURNE

After the sun sets, a blue veil soften all the colors & shapes of Paris, except for the well lit Sacre Coeur. Pure magic to see this from my balcony before I fall asleep.

GREASE PENCIL

China marker is definitely my top 10 favorite art supply, mainly because it's smudge proof. What's yours?

WINTER BLOOMS

Whenever my ramblings take me thru the Hudson Valley…I like to stop at Battenfeld's in Red Hook, NY for some fresh blooms.

Nothing more inviting than greenhouses full of Hybrid Anemones & Rananculus in the middle of winter.

NEW KITTEN DESIGN

You learn to paint & then you paint to learn.Part of the joy of painting is experimenting with new art supply. After all these years, my go to medium is still watercolor. Sometimes I choose to start a new subject just so I can use my Winsor & Newton watercolors & my #3 Kolinsky sable brush from Utrecht. This sable brush has the right snap for a fluid wash & the perfect point for building up the fuzzy fur on this little kittie.
