| This is me (Jacqueline) in front of my new paintings. |
Art Hop night in Bend, Oregon was a fun event. It was our first warm day in months and downtown Bend was the place to be! I was honored to be the Featured Artist for the Red Chair Gallery, located on the corner of Bond and Oregon Street in the historic O’Kane building. My paintings will be up for the month of April.
I have to record the colors that I use because I will forget what they were. This is a good way to make a record of your favorite color combination. Why not start a little notebook to keep your studies in.

| Monkshood |
| Part of what I love about watercolor journaling is that it engages all my senses. In order to paint a flower, like the Monkshood, I use my sight to tell me colors, shapes and value, but I am also experiencing the sounds and feeling the warm breeze along the hillside. I also love that it takes me to new, as well as familiar, places. I look for different ways to represent my life journey. It a wonderful way to slow down and savor the moment. I look forward to sharing this experience with you in Greece! There are lots of techniques that I can show you that even a beginner to watercolor painting will return home an artist. If you would like more information on how to join me on a Watercolor Journaling in Greece, please contact the American College of Healthcare Sciences. The class is May 27 – June 2, 2011. |
