"My artistic ability is a Gift. Watercolor is my medium of choice because it challenges me. I typically work from several photo references to develop an original composition. I love to combine the use of soft, wet into wet backgrounds or poured layers along with crisp detailed foreground subjects, emphasizing light. I often choose to paint God’s beautiful nature, in the hope that those who pause long enough to view my art might better appreciate the beauty that surrounds us all." ~ Jean
