Introduction I am a painter working in watercolor, acrylics, pen and; ink and water-soluble oils. This is my attempt to share my love of painting with other artists, art lovers and the curious about life. I've been painting and drawing for over thirty + years. I talk about my art journey, show my work and try to share some techniques and tips that I have picked up from other artists and teachers over the years. I also include many step-by-step techniques for creating art in a variety of mediums and style.
