WATERCOLOR GARDEN

Moonlight Garden

I don't do watercolor very often.  I took classes from Jake Wells at Southeast Missouri State University many years ago (he does have a book out with watercolors of Missouri's covered bridges).  While I really enjoyed the techniques, and experimenting with salt and plastic wrap, I never truly felt in control of my work and where it was going to end up.  Now that I am older and wiser, I have realized that it is not always a good thing to have THAT MUCH CONTROL! I did a wildly interpretive garden here that was great fun to work with and really loosened me up for a more open mind to watercolor and experimenting with mediums.
