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!

  2. 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.

  10. 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.
