Self-Portrait in Watercolors (07-10-12)

I struggle every time I use my watercolors, but I like the results this time...

I want things my way... (10-11-09)

...I want my plans to be implemented; I want to reach my dreams.

A Day at the Beach, ca. 07-01

A page from my sketchbook, a reminder of an unusually sunny day at the beach in Waldport, Oregon. The weather was invariably overcast every time we went to the beach house leased by my husband's employer, so this visit was a pleasant surprise. I had a small pocket-sized box of watercolor with me and painted the beach. In retrospect, I am glad I took the time to do this, since, due to a change of circumstances, we stopped going to the beach house, and the memory now seems all the more precious.
