I've had a little trouble getting motivated to paint lately. Pushing myself to get going, I decided to try something a little different. What to paint? Hmm... In the past, I have painted some watercolor flowers. I use photos that I've taken to create the watercolor paintings. Maybe I should paint plumerias. This painting was … Continue reading Plumerias

The past few weeks, I've been working on a painting commissioned by my hair stylist. I've been sharing picture of my paintings with her since I picked my brushes up again.
