I love watercolor portrait which I do only on comission for now.I am exploring acrylic and textures with mixed media to loosen myself.I am working mostly in macros on plants, I love the subtle details nature gives us every day. I am a Biologist, plant lover, tree and palms fan. Love art,life and good attitude people around me.

When I enter an art supply store, I want to buy everything!

When I finish the eyes on a portrait.

Plants, palms, trees everything that's green and alive.

Noise.

People smoking in my working space.

Negative people.

Cottage cheese,granola bars and boxing

Sewing, cooking, reading.

Good Morning!  Thanks for the compliment-  My portraits of the girls are watercolor.  My acrylics are more abstract and bold simply because I paint with my fingers instead of a brush.  The girls are my friends' daughters.  Both of them.   One of the girls is a miracle girl- both are very special to me.

Maribel- Thanks for your comment on Kalediscope Cornflower-  Yes , I still have it, although, I have been inclined to put in to a set of greeting cards for spring.  I painted it with my fingers-just like a kid.  I am loving painting like that.  I love the feel of buttery acrylics!  Speaking of kids, I see your messages.  I taught home-schooled kids art for a few years and had a blast.  It was so rewarding.


I am dreaming of Cancun-  I am freezing here-  Blahhhh!  Not complaining- just holed up in my studio and talking online like I have all the time in the world.    Better go and actually work on my portfolio-  Deb

Interesting comment about children's book....I taught at Waldorf elementary schools for 14 years and drew daily for the children, but I did not think it showed through in my artwork....Perhaps my idea to write a children's book is not too far fetched.  thanks! greg

I know exactly what you are saying about children. I taught summer classes at a local art center for 3 years. They know no barriers. I was always amazed to see how much I learned from my students.     me

Thanks for your nice comments. I realy enjoyed your portraits. i don't have the courage to do watercolor. It looks like you have mastered your craft very well. Keep up the good work and hope you receive many commissions.
