I am not a loose styled watercolor painter myself, but I am trying my best to learn about edge variation, and trying to gather my courage for wet-into-wet applications. I am learning a lot looking at how you are doing these paintings.

I just wondered, with three kids, when do you make time to paint? You said you just have one little one not in school, but the demands of being a wife and mother even with just one kid at home can be so overwhelming. I'm an artist as well and the only way I get to paint is if my kids are all asleep, which is late at night and then I'm a zombie the next day. so whats your secret? Nanny? Grandma? magic baby sleeping pills? give it up. if you have a spare moment :)Amandanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-320847148928421544.post-69237767873862511312012-01-06T06:58:09.401-08:002012-01-06T06:58:09.401-08:00Felicidades, es precioso!Felicidades, es precioso!maría joséhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10100554798934127553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-320847148928421544.post-53277016601429684612012-01-06T05:46:06.092-08:002012-01-06T05:46:06.092-08:00Love how you savour the moments and your paintings...Love how you savour the moments and your paintings reflect that, each one capturing something special and keeping it before our eyes.Bren Graham Thebeauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00423052785015946898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-320847148928421544.post-49375978451831120612012-01-06T01:17:13.340-08:002012-01-06T01:17:13.340-08:00This is superb story telling through paintings..
