hydrangea chair

sold
a new chair on Etsy
8 x 10

I have been busy painting, in class & at home.
I have an orchid to show you soon, just needs some finishing touches.
I love going to watercolor workshops!
While painting at home (alone & quiet) is perfect for me,
it's fun to be in a studio with other artists.
I learn so much from the instructor and from sharing ideas
and tips with my fellow painters.  It's all so inspiring!
... and there are always new colors, brushes, etc. that I must have ; )

I put all my supplies in the same cart that I dragged in and out of
my school buildings for years, loaded then with lesson supplies, and 
 I bring the same lunch bag that I used to quickly dine from at my desk.

Now I pack the cart with watercolors, brushes & paper 
and the bag with a lunch I can enjoy leisurely at a table of artists.

I'm very lucky to have these opportunities and by using the same old
cart and lunch bag, I'm reminded of how hard I worked to get here.
