I always wanted to do it (paint), but I never had the chance. Back in the '50s, you took Home Ec, not art. I tried in the '60s, but I had little children then and it didn't work out. |
I have met almost all of my friends through the Village Art League and the Visual Arts Association. |
I like the effects, the way water works with the paint. I like the transparency, and the fullness you can get. |
Knowing when you are done, knowing when you are through with the entire painting, is the hardest thing to learn. |
One of my favorite fundraisers was Four Legs for Art. Everything had to have four legs of one kind or another. It raised money for student art scholarships. |
There is always something to learn every time you paint. Watercolor is a series of techniques. You don't paint a leaf, you learn the technique of using water and paint to make a leaf. You learn how to make the paint and the water work together. |
We had bought a house in The Villages, and planned to rent it out for a while. However, we had a day that was 40 below. My husband came home and announced that we were moving to Florida right away. |
