Watercolors
| |
After living in South Texas until 1979, I moved to
California where I taught high school English and journalism at Newbury Park
High School. In our retirements, my husband and I have centered most of
our activities on art and music.
We have eight grandchildren in California and Texas and and a soon to be born
ninth in Paris, France. (Sounds like a geat place to paint.....)
As far back as I can remember, I have filled pages of notebooks with doodles and
sketches. After retiring in 2001, I finally began to take art classes, first in
Chinese Brush on Saturday mornings at Thousand Oaks High School, and later with
Phyl Doyon and her students at her gallery in Camarillo. Although I have
painted some with acrylics and also worked with monoprints and other printing
techniques, I focus mostly on watercolor.
With the encouragement of teachers and fellow artists, I continue to benefit
from a variety of workshops. I enter juried shows and open shows usually at the
Thousand Oaks Gallery. I had a solo exhibit in the Camarillo Library, and was
half of an exhibit for two artists at Gardens of the World.
Our dynamic art community is both inspiring and motivating. Now I am looking
forward to working with the Thousand Oaks Art Association, the group I have
heard of with the most praise.
