I had a great workshop in Vermont with master watercolorist Alvaro Castagnet! He's a great teacher and he amazed me with his skills with the watercolor medium. I am still playing with my watercolor paints and did this painting of a scene I painted once before in oils. It is from my trip to Giverny a few years ago when I visited Monet's garden.

Sunflowers and Shadows

Sometimes in the cold, dreary days of winter, I paint from reference photographs that I took during the warmer weather. This is a painting I did last winter on a very cold, dark day. The photograph was taken from a still life I set up in my porch during the summertime. I immediately became lost in the process of painting this one. The bright colors of the sunflowers are so warming and cheerful! It lifted my spirits and I hope it does the same to yours!

Still Life with Golden Vase

I find great joy in painting colorful still lifes in the wintertime. This was done from a photo that I took a year ago. Whenever I receive flowers I quickly set up a still life and photograph it so that I have many warm, floral scenes to work with in the dead of winter. This is a very small painting but it packs a lot of punch!
