I loved the setting. Preet was wonderful and supportive in her instruction and feedback as we painted. The detail in directions for the location was great. She was easy to find in the park.

Title or Location: Mountain Top Splendor
Years ago, while hiking in the Sierra, I came across an old abandoned church - literally in the middle of nowhere. It seemed odd, out of place. I even knocked on it to make sure I wasn't imagining it. Ever since I've had a fascination for old abandoned places and the stories they could tell. As I work on a painting like this one, Mountain Top Splendor, I usually can't help developing a story about it. The home was once occupied by a veteran of the great war, who sough peace and serenity with his

Title or Location: America's Cup Harbor
Following seven hours of taping out the subject matter, I took the watercolor out to America's Cup Harbor in Point Loma. At 9am I began throwing paint with my 6-inch brush to start a "Stylin' with Blue Tape" demonstration en plein air for the San Diego Watercolor Society Second Saturday Paintout. I always enjoy seeing people's faces as the paint spreads and drips across the 140 Arches Cold Press paper! Came back to the studio and spent another 5 days completing details.Exhibited:San Diego

I enjoy documenting my life in watercolor. I have a few completed watercolor journals. This particular page depicts a time we went on a hike in Crest - a rural mountain community about 20 miles east of San Diego. We were staying in a nearby Airbnb while our house was being renovated. We had no idea these trails existed, and now this illustrated memory will be cherished.

Title or Location: ?Desert Paintbrush?, acrylic on canvas, 11? x 14?
These lovely red flowers are called desert paintbrush. I first learned about them when I was just a boy growing up in New Orleans. I loved all earth sciences, but especially rocks, gems, and flowers. I had a little book that showed different flowers from around the United States and these desert paintbrush were always my favorite. We didn?t have anything like that growing in New Orleans (and it was a terrible place to try to be a rockhound since it?s all delta), but I held out hope that when I g

Title or Location: Mandala art for mindfulness
I started learning about Dot Mandala Art at the end of last year, and the more I created, the more I became addicted to it. Creating this art has been incredibly therapeutic for my mind. I began with small pieces, and this particular artwork is the largest piece I've made so far( 45cm)It took me about 12 hours to complete.

Hello, My name is Sandra Sanchez. The background on this particular art piece is quite interesting . I had just gotten a new sketch pad, and I wanted the first page to eye opening. I wanted a piece from the heart, something my audience would feel. I wanted this pic to be something I would feel every time I felt like giving up . I lost my older, and only brother to cancer. Shortly after , I lost my Grandmother who raised me suddenly. Each day is a struggle without my brother, and my Nana . I love

Permission by photographer, Suzanne Hallerman. The minute I saw this photo, I fell in love with it. The colors the landscape, the small town... just charming. This is the description I put on my website: "This mixed media colorful painting has a texture made of tissue paper in the hills surrounding it, acrylic, oil, and ink, and to make it more unusual? a sheet of an old hymnal page ?My Faith Looks Up to Thee". This tight little village is set in a place where friendship and fishing are
