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.

I painted this to commemorate an amazing mentor. - my college philosophy professor. This is actually Nietzsche, someone he deeply admired. Since I admired my professor, it seemed fitting to paint this in his memory. He passed away after I graduated, but his impact on my college education stayed with me forever.

Having trained as an architect and planner where logic generally rules, I spent 20 years thinking I wasn?t doing art right because it didn?t look perfect! Since inks and watercolors lend themselves to messiness, I have embraced imperfect painting and I push myself to try dramatic colors and backgrounds. This painting required patience, but was also fun to create and rewarding to complete.
