After more than 40 years away from painting, I took a leap?backpacking with a travel watercolour set, capturing moments in photos when I didn?t yet have the courage to paint. Now, as summer nears, I?m revisiting that journey with paint. This was the first. Still learning, still experimenting?but I?m pleased with how the light and shade found their way in.

I found a new passion for the medium, and am always

There are two cherry trees in my yard blooming. The blooms do not last long as the March winds carry them away and blankets the ground with a carpet of flowers.
