I enjoyed it very much and learn simple basics techniques that have helped me with my drawing skills. Instructor Emerson was very patient and explained things in beginners language. I also enjoyed the class outdoors.

Title or Location: Resemblance
I often get told that I look like my mother, I take it as such a compliment every time. She?s beautiful. But I resemble my mother in other ways, too, My anxiety probably resembles her anxiety just as much as my hands resemble her hands.

Title or Location: Capitola Dreaming
I was thinking about Capitola and the last time I visited the iconic beach with its brightly colored beach houses. While daydreaming of this most loved vacation retreat I was exploring new techniques with my watercolors. This painting was the result of that thought process and experiment.

Title or Location: Gromit in heaven
Gromit was a ?foster fail? who helped many other foster dogs on their way to a new life. He demonstrated life could be kind and to try and trust again. His favorite play dates were at Union Reservoir, retrieving tennis balls in the water. The day before Memorial Day in 2018, he started fading fast, a rush to the emergency vet showed the cause, cancer on his heart. He died just after midnight, so it would be impossible for me to forget him. He was 4years old.
