I have never painted anything close to realism before. I never even imagined myself painting realism before. And yet here I am painting the sights that we have visited, mostly  from travels to national parks. I enjoy remembering our family time through my paintings. 

 I've come to enjoy the beauty of watercolors that mirror the fluidity of the water, at times lack of control of water. That is what I enjoy most of all, the controlled chaos of the water/paint flow. Watercolors seem to be a world away from my home of abstract painting; they are really a cousin to it. The color once again is what really draws me in.
