Almost out of limbo and back into a routine...and checking out the marvelous work you've done. You are truly gifted. Your rose featured on EPTAS was breath-taking, and really an inspiration for my little Mother's day poem. And thank you so much for your thoughtful comments while I was country hopping.
And, I am grateful that you found me, Liz. And, your rose painting is just beautiful!
Beautiful rose, and I have to agree that the background is also very special. Thanks for the little part of it that you dedicate to the ones who follow you, that simply adds to the personal qualities that I am discovering in you.

Hi Liz, Thank you for your comment on my daughters' paintings. I have some from when she was 2 years old and they are just as good.
I like your work. I especially like the way that you can make colors vibrate.
I have so much to learn and I hope to learn from your blog as well. I'll be looking in on you.
I am originally from Brooklyn in Baltimore so, it's nice to run into someone from my neck of the woods. Well, sort of.
Anyway...I'll keep in touch.

Doug - always good to see you. welcome back from Ocracoke.
Thanks, Paula. You're kind.
I absolutely love all the light and the delicacy that you emulated in the rose. You captured that glow that is so hard to do, especially in watercolors. Kudos!
I love your mother's day post and photos of your mom. My great grandmother had alzheimer's. I think she/we lived that way for 15 years. But, now, over 14 years after her passing, when I think of her, I rarely remember the details of the alzheimer years, but, I do remember how she smelled, how it felt to sit in her lap, her singing, her praying, her voice, her long and sharp fingernails, her soft clothes.
I was touched by your mother's day post, but, now I am blown away by your paintings!!! I can't wait to see more.
Liz!
Wonderful rose!
Tons of color in this painting even in the background.
Lovely!

Perfect, such beauty captured. Lindax

The rose is beautiful.
By the way I love Nancy, she is a wonderful woman.
Renee xoxo
thank you, Linda.
Renee- thanks, and re: Nancy - me, too!
What a beautiful watercolor! I love the colors! The light reflecting off the petals is so well shown, and the contrasting background really makes it pop!
