@janetb Thanks, Janet! Yes, I studied watercolors extensively with Mrs. Emons in kindergarten, *ahem* years ago. Other than that, just the typical art classes in school. Since my Mom died, I've been immersing myself in learning to paint using Jenna Rainey's book, "Everyday Watercolor." 30 lessons to follow, although I'll be spending much more time on each lesson than a few minutes per day. For some lessons, I'm going to need to spend a few sessions to really "get" it. It's difficult, but absorbing and fun. It takes my mind off of things. Thanks for your encouragement! :)
