It is a reminder that even after the darkest of Winters, Spring will still emerge. Likewise, int he darkest of situations, hope is still on the horizon. The poem is as follows:?Hope? is the thing with feathersBy Emily Dickinson?Hope? is the thing with feathers -That perches in

Title or Location: Winter Beauty
I really enjoy Ellen Crimi Trent?s watercolor tutorials. I was drawn to the colors and whimsy of background. This was the first painting I completed where I was thoroughly happy with the end result. I have only been painting about 3 years and this is still one of my favorites. Loved this so much I used it as our Christmas card last year! A dear friend ended up buying the original to gift to her great aunt?.I didn?t want to let it go, but she insisted it would bring so much joy to her aunt and in

I was on vacation with a friend and I was laying on the beach painting with some ocean water. I used some sand as well for some texture. I grew up here so capturing the small, rolling waves was fun to do so I always have a piece of home.

Title or Location: Unloved Boat, Alvor, Portugal
An apparently unloved old fishing boat, normally they?re decorated in beautiful bright colours. Retired and forgotten, I thought I?d attempt to breathe a little more life into this lovely old boat! From a photo taken years ago whilst on holiday in the Algarve. I took the picture with a view to painting it at some point and finally got round to it a year or so ago. I?m glad I did as it?s one of my family?s favourite paintings. Windsor and Newton Cotman colours on Daler-Rowney 140lb Aquafine pa

Title or Location: The Boat at the Shelly Rossmoyne foreshore park.
When days stretch long and sunsets occur late, I indulge in leisurely walks at the Shelly Rossmoyne foreshore park situated adjacent to the Canning river in Perth, WA. Although the broad vista of the Canning river, boats, and setting sun is certainly a pleasure, I find greater enjoyment in discovering secluded spots by peering through the trees that flank the path. Occasionally I get the opportunity to glimpse birds perched on branches but this particular boat has consistently been moored there,
