When I paint a leaf I notice every vein, every worm hole, every soft color, every curl of the vine. I would not notice these details in a glance. Intent observation is a meditative practice, a skill that can be learned. My watercolor and drawing classes will enhance your life.

“Think, more than you paint.
If you don’t have a good composition structure underneath your painting, all the fancy flourishes you put to it aren’t going to work.” Watercolorist, Larry Cannon

Start where you are,
Use what you have,
Do what you can.
Theodore Roosevelt

I don’t know who to attribute this to, but I like the message and want to share it.
“When you buy something from an artist, you’re buying more than an object. You’re buying hundreds of hours of errors and experimentation. You’re buying years of frustration and moments of pure joy. You’re not buying just one thing, you are buying a piece of a heart, a piece of a soul … a small piece of someone else’s life.

Great Blue Heron, Silver Maple Leaf, Callaway Garden Barn, and Chapel.
