I had a wonderful time! Dia was very helpful and supportive while creating a comfortable and relaxed atmosphere. It was like sitting down with an old friend, but with watercolors. I was a little nervous since this was my first very public outing since COVID, but she's very sweet and put me at ease. I learned a lot about my technique and she provided informative feedback. I left feeling a lot better about my abilities.

Title or Location: Summer morning
It was a typical summer day when I thought about painting a bird, birds are one of my favorite subjects, as they show purity and a free spirit vibe, and painting them using a watercolor makes everything smooth as you can easily tone down each color while you work with another detail.

Title or Location: Ted?s Beach, Lake Peddar
This stop on the shores of Lake Peddar in the Southwest National Park in Tasmania was beautifully wild and chilly. Snow on the mountain range behind, and the tannin stained waters of Ted?s beach are what I tried to capture in this beginners watercolour. My technique has improved since then but this scene is still a favourite.

As a girl I lived in a small community of nearly all Italian immigrants or first generation to USA. One lady stuck in my memory because she always wore a kerchief, as she picked fresh dandelion greens for her salad lunch. We kids were a "tribe"every morning running through the field next to her small home smashing the young greens. She would run out shaking her fist yelling "Youse Kids! Youse is CaCa! Youse kids is Shit!! Our mother put a stop to us running through the field. So I made this p

Title or Location: Baffins pond Portsmouth
This was one of my first attempts at water colours which I did back in July 2023. The location is Baffins pond, a beautiful spot in my local neighborhood where lots of people hang out to feed the birds and watch nature. There was a lot of things worth painting but as the painting progressed I kind of became more interested in the tree in the foreground with it's roots pushing up through the pavement.
