Orange Starfish 8×8 Watercolor on Paper I learned a lesson this week.  It’s impossible for this busy girl to complete 30 paintings in 30 days.  Let’s be real here.  I gave it my best shot but with a full-time job, two small boys, and having a husband in real estate school this week, I just […]

Pink Honu 8×24 Watercolor on Paper Happy New Year!!!  On the last day of this year I put the finishing touches on this pink sea turtle.  In Hawaiian, the turtle (or honu) represents good luck, which I find very timely as we ring in 2013.   This has been a very challenging year for my […]

Pink Seahorse 10×14 Watercolor on Paper I’ve always been fascinated with seahorses.  The greeks believed the seahorse was considered a symbol of strength and power.   After last week’s challenge, using a limited palette, I’ve been longing to do similar paintings.  Here’s a pink seahorse that I created using two shades of pink and two […]
