Collioure Catalan Fishing Boats

Catalan Fishing Boats

Here is the painting I did while in Collioure, France. I love the colorful fishing boats in front of the tower. This painting is not for sale. Ron claimed it for himself!

This is the same scene that Francoise painted in my class where the idea of going to France to paint was born!

I had a great time teaching on the Queen Mary 2. 

There were tons of interesting students and passengers to share artistic techniques with. Today, I'm teaching an all-day watercolor and ink workshop at Greenspring Gardens, and I have so much more to look forward to with my travel students this season.

Here's to growing both as an artistic guide and as a traveler, myself.

Meet this little guy from my Cicada series.  After painting so many cicadas, I couldn’t resist getting experimental and he turned out totally psychedelic!  Who knew these creatures could be so beautiful?

Peachy Roses and Soft Pink, 9x12, Oil on board

Once in a while I take a break from my usual watercolors and pull out the oils.

I love their creamy, luscious feel, and every once in a while I dive in and paint a handful before running back to my first love—watercolor.

It might be time to break out the oils again.

Really study the next white flower you see. How much pure white is there? The color and darks around the white are what make the flower look white!

“Is the glass half full or half empty?  Well, if you’re seeing the world as an artist, it’s always both. Spend a day focusing on the negative spaces…Watch how your perception of your world changes and evolves your artist eye.” - Jay Alders

Do you know that white flowers have very little pure white in them? Once you add the shadows, the whole flower is practically painted with color and yet, the flower does look white! Notice that none of my shadows are gray. That would be boring. Shadows can be very colorful. Even if you don’t see the colors in them, paint them anyway! You will love it.
