Painting Highlights…..

December 8, 2013 Artist

My favorite time of 2013 was painting daily in Provence, France with a wonderful group of artists. Twelve wonderful artist joined me on my 3rd watercolor journaling trip to St. Remy de Provence. I love this charming town not only for its own charm but because within an hour in all directions, we were in awe inspiring locations painting plein air. Here are a few highlights from our trip:

One of our favorite times of the day was sharing our paintings in our journals

The red poppies were out in full bloom!

We were lucky to be in St. Remy for the traditional costume parade

There was lots of dancing in the streets of St. Remy

I love collecting artistic tools to put in the goody bags that I give to my students. I love meeting new artistic friends and catching up with old ones. I love sharing what I have learned over the years about how to paint beautiful, colorful, glowing paintings and filling art journals with watercolor paintings and mixed media. I love CREATE!

Here is my drawing of the window. Notice that I do not draw every flower. I just put a few lines in to remind me of where I plan to paint the flowers.
