Each year, I am sent a floral bouquet from a family member for my birthday, Mother's Day, Valentine's Day, etc. To commemorate the bouquet, I have always taken photos of them. I thought it would be fun to create a collection of a few of them. This collection is unique as it departs from watercolor. I worked part-time at a home improvement store and found that the paint samples that are either returned or rejected by the customer get turned into other colors and are available for sale at a substantial savings. This is latex house paint - or acrylic. Its properties are amazing as I have found it easy to use and make corrections. These paintings are vibrant and will make an excellent addition to your home or office. They are relatively small (11" x 14") and would look nice grouped together on your wall. I hope you enjoy this collection as much I am enjoying creating it.Each year, I am sent a floral bouquet from a family member for my birthday, Mother's Day, Valentine's Day, etc. To commemorate the bouquet, I have always taken photos of them.

I took a moment to place it on this blanket and came up with this arrangement.

As a watercolorist, I experience not only how the paint itself plays on the paper, but also how the water flows and mixes together with the paint. Water is the determining factor whether the paint is bold or muted. It blends the colors together and allows the paint to intermingle in a way that other mediums cannot. It is an active and complex partner changing both the absorbency and shape of the paper when it is wet and the outlines and appearance of the paint as it dries. I am challenged using watercolor paints because I am also anticipating and leveraging the behavior of water, rather than attempting to control or dominate it.
Watching the paint and water intermingle is truly magical. It allows me to be in touch with my inner spirit and lets my inner child play. It is an experience that stops time.
My artwork allows you an opportunity to experience how I view the world and how I see the "ebb and flow" of life. Please join me in my quest to see the world in a unique and colorful way.
