I believe that watercolor is meant to be spontaneous.
It offers such freedom of expression. It's not so much the subject matter, as it is the mood that is created by the light, that inspires me to paint. I have found that by reading everything I can get my hands on, from art history books, to current issues of art magazines, that everyone has a different set of rules, color schemes, do's and don'ts, etc. This just reinforces my belief that there are no rules that are absolute!! ....just freedom.
My greatest joy is teaching, and some of my most rewarding moments in watercolor have been through sharing how I paint with fellow artists in the workshop environment. My main objective is to help the participants find ways to paint with no fears, and to truly enjoy this wonderful medium.
