Art is everywhere.  It surrounds us in Nature, with constantly changing skies, trees swaying in the breeze, butterflies flitting from blossom to blossom, rain drops falling gently on your face.  Take time to open your eyes and pause for a moment to take it all in.  As an artist, I see beauty all around me and try to capture it in my own way with transparent watercolor.  This allows a glow to come through the pigments, as I create my own feeling about the subject I am painting.
