Description
I have been wanting to paint a portrait of my granddaughters for a long time and after paging through a wonderful book by Lucy Willis I was inspired to try her style of watercolors. I took a photo of my girls playing their piano several years ago and decided this was the portrait I needed to attempt. Even though the room isn't exactly like theirs, I used my artist's license to keep the room as simple and light as I could so the focus would be on my beautiful granddaughters and the shadows created from all the sunshine coming in the windows.
Thank you for stopping by my gallery! I am currently residing in Arizona and have previously exhibited in galleries in Arizona and Wisconsin. Having lived in both states, it has given me very diverse subject matter as is evident in the variety of art pieces I have posted here. I also have appeared in several art shows in both states and received various awards, including the Wisconsin Regional Art Show Travelling Exhibit Award for my watercolor 'Spring In Tlaquepaque'. While working for the Dean Medical Center in Madison, WI, I completed several commission pieces to be displayed in their clinics ('Comin' Home', 'The Catch', 'Little Mill', and Christine's Ride'). I also created their employee birthday card for several years in a row. I hope you will enjoy viewing my artwork. Just click on each gallery to view the art in that category, then click on any image to enlarge it.

This is so sweet. When art tell a story it succeeds. I found this painting to be very emotive. It is great compositionally and do very well executed. Kudos!
