Finding Peace in Watercolor

"The Beach Blissed Seals" is a painting I just finished.  It is one of the largest watercolors I have ever done--a full sheet of Windsor Newton Watercolor paper.  Recently I have decided that I want to focus on my watercolor over all of the other artwork that I do.  Clarity in my focused direction came like a part in the clouds.  An amazing peace and calm came over me once I realized this.  The seals in this painting reflect the mood.

Lazy Days of May

May has been a slow month as far as sales go on etsy. As the sun comes out and the air warms up, I am reminded of the many summer days I will spend at the Fulton Street Artison's Market in Grand Rapids, MI. This means it is time to stock up and get organized!
