Hello all! I hope this week went beautifully for everyone. I’m back to remind you about Hahnemühle’s newest watercolor paper, The Collection. I’ve loved working on it, I think it may now be my favorite paper. My fave used to be Cézanne (also Hahnemühle-surprise, they do make spectacular paper) but this paper usurps that title….
Watercolor Paintings
Happy Halloween! (Boo!)
Hiya all. Happy Halloween! Gosh it’s been a while since I’ve blogged. I apologize for that, I’ve been dealing with IBS for the last 2-3 months. It seems to finally be abating and I’m so glad. I’ve eaten chicken & rice soup and gluten free toast day in and day out for, it seems, EVER….
Playing With Paint (Hahnemühle: The Collection)
Hi everybody. How are you all surviving the pandemic? I’ve been sheltering in place since March. Seriously. I haven’t been out of the house for six months. THIS is the way to go stir crazy. But I also know with my compromised immune system (asthma, weight issues), it’s the only way to stay Covid free…

Painting Ball Jars On Harmony
I’m really Sorry that I’ve been absent for a couple of weeks. I fit painting ball jars on Harmony paper in between all my new exploration in paint. I’ve been busy starting a course on abstract painting! Yes, it’s totally fun. The course, called “Find Your Joy”, is with Louise Fletcher and lasts 10 weeks….
Zebra Fountain Pens For Art
It’s inherent in being an artist that we get creative with lesser used tools. Yes, ink is used to make art but it’s a little more unusual to use a set of Zebra fountain pens in a myriad of bright colors to create something special. I got to get scribbly with these pens, allowing that…
Expression Parrot Tulips
Hiya. Yep, I’ve been absent for a couple weeks. I have good reasons, promise! Let me explain myself before I get to the review of Expression Watercolor paper. So, I got all my testing done for my six month review after my cancer surgery and YAY I’m totally healthy, cancer free and doing great. So…

Hahnemühle Harmony Paper
I’ve been working on Harmony watercolor paper since before my cancer surgery so I thought it was high time I reviewed it. Ok, long story short, I LOVE this paper. Yes, it’s made of alpha-cellulose which means it’s part of Hahnemühle’s Akadamie line of student grade paper. But seriously, if “student” grade paper is this…
