Watercolors
Biography
My passion is watercolors especially wet on wet . I love to mix colors and watching the pigments mingle and find the layers of paint developing is magical .Working in watercolours I work with fine quality watercolor paper which has a lovely texture to it and allows for the layering of the paint which produces a fantastic effect .In my paintings I try to acheive a feeling of ‘being there’ reflecting on the movement and ethereal atmosphere of the place .
I have an emotional and family connection with Scotland as I am half Scottish. I got married there and visited Glasgow and the surrounding area where my grandparents lived . So I have a natural affinity with Scotland and whilst my grandparents are sadly no longer with us I often wonder if they liked painting in their lifetime . I find working in watercolors gives me the spontaneity to let my imagination run freely . The translucency created when using watercolors as a medium gives wonderful results .I have been teaching one to one tutition in watercolor painting for 15 years and regularly demonstrate to local art groups and retirement homes and plus I do commissions
