Very enjoyable experience, learning some basics of watercolor. Loved that it was outdoors in a very serene environment. Instructor was attentive and open to questions. I plan to attend another class in the future.

Joy was delightful to learn from. She easily shared methods to learn about the brushes, paints, and strokes and we quickly learned how to create flowers, roses, trees, clouds and mountains. I would take another class with her again.

I loved our teacher Joy. Very encouraging and helpful. Loved painting outdoor but got really cold which interfere with me wanting to keep painting. The area where we painted was beautiful and calming. Loved that it was on a Sunday

Title or Location: Time heals all?.
This painting was done with various brands of watercolor on Arches cold press. The reason behind it is healing so if you notice, the heart and roses in the back look decomposed while the rose in front of the top of the heart are coming back to life.

This young woman was waiting for a ceremony to begin that I was attending. She lives in West Africa and was wearing a string of random beads that my African friends prefer. Her expression was open but patient and knowing. I thought some of her grandmother's wisdom must have come to her, just like the necklace.

I took a picture of an old oak tree in central Texas which I used for reference. I decided to represent it in an iconic vignette type rather than a straight up landscape painting.

I am recovering from being paralyzed from the neck down with Guillain Barre Syndrome. I have always had a gift of art. I was so afraid that being paralyzed for over a year that I would lose my gift? my prayers were answered and my ?gift? is better now than before. I do not draw anything,, I see it in my head and then I paint. I do not have fine motor skills in my hands and I tell people I can not load and unload the dishwasher but I can hold a paintbrush!!!
