The subjects that attract and excite me as a watercolor artist primarily come from nature. I am particularly drawn to texture and strong natural patterns. I also choose subjects that make the best use of the properties that are unique to watercolor painting. Consequently, my favorite paintings could include birds, turtles, frogs, gnarly tree trunks and branches, rocks, water, waves, crashing seas, skies, clouds, boats, and even buildings. I love the challenge of combining detail with fluid, or abstracted backgrounds, hard with soft edges. My palette of colors include those that mix and play well together - creating a feeling of unity. I want the viewer to feel that my subjects are real, almost touchable, yet artistically rendered
