After a thousand watercolors
you will find you have fallen
in love with paper and paint.
...Rex Brandt
I met Diana last September while visiting Catalina. We bonded over the love of dogs and being both creative beings. She is an artist and loves to paint. While staying at her duplex called Pelican Perch, in the heart of Avalon, we had two nights of watercolor lessons and made greeting cards. These three were my best efforts. I love watercolor but it isn't easy. I chose to paint from my photographs...flowers, seahorses and of course, Katniss. The next day we went and made a larger copy of the watercolor to make a matching envelope.
Diana was an excellent teacher, a wonderful artist, kind person and a great host! My attempts don't hold a candle to her artwork but it was so much fun!
Thank you SO MUCH for sharing these! You inspire me! I have an art circle of friends and we have been swapping our work through the mail these past months since we can't get together once a month as we have in the past. Your designs are *absolutely charming*!!! While I'm sure her art has an assured sophistication, yours delightfully stands beautifully alone!
@Weezilou You are too kind, Louise! I am happy with them and had so much fun. That is what it is all about...having a good time, being creative and being happy.
I am still posting Catalina since it has been nothing but fires, smoke, ash and poor air quality here...so depressing and a sad situation for all those families, animals and wildlife.
