                  What is So Special About Watercolor?

Watercolor painting is a media like no other. When watercolor is dropped from a brush onto wet paper magic happens. The colors flow and blend instantly.  There is a mystery and challenge with watercolor that always inspires me to paint.
           "Art enables us to find ourselves & lose ourselves at the same time. " -Thomas Merton
These are times of worry and anxiety about the present and the future, and not knowing what challenges we will have to face. But being involved with art and creating gives us the gift of being able to escape these things for awhile.  

When we are working on a painting we focus on color and ideas, and what we are trying to say.  We look around us for inspiration and see the beauty in our surroundings.

Like planting a seed in a garden, we are planting creativity in our minds.  Water the garden as you learn painting skills,  weed out negative thoughts, and take care of it so it will thrive.
The arts train your mind to discover solutions and help build self confidence.
Painting is all about problem solving and creativity. Nourish your garden, and use your imagination to "grow" your own artistic life.
