Possiblities



This is the latest installment from my watercolor class with David R. Becker. We paint from photos, not my favorite thing to do but I'm learning a lot. I chose this photo because of the high contrast and I love the sneakers and tutu combo. It says to me "Oh the places she'll go!" Also, I think the watercolor shows that it may be possible to teach an old dog new tricks!

    Barbara,

    It is one of the most beautiful watercolours I have ever seen.

    I was in that class for a few sessions but my work schedule changed. It was an excellent class. I met you and didn't even know it!! Hope he teaches in the fall again.

    Thank you, too, Clair M. I don't know what happened to your kind words. They're floating somewhere in cyberspace!

    I saw this and thought - this child will go far! Then I saw your comments about "oh the places she'll go!"!!

    This evokes the emotions.

    Great piece of work, Barbara!

    You may have lost my comment, but I just had to repeat that this is just so charming! You have captured such innocence and wonder - makes me wonder about her amazing potential future. You really engaged me in wonder about this little girl.
