When my husband retired and we started traveling, this gave me the motive to paint again. After 30 years of not picking up a paint brush, this is when I fell in love with water color.
After I painted my daughter’s Boston Terrier photos in halloween costumes; animals became my forte. I started winning ribbons, including my landscapes and flowers.
Because of my love for animals, I am now painting all types of animals, trying to capture the animals spirit.
