I"m part of a group of artists that have been posting daily paintings to a private FB page beginning on Jan 1 this year. It is an awesome way to get into my studio and just start painting. I decided to do watercolor in a 6" x 6" format. I began with still lifes of everyday objects found in my studio, This exercise has been liberating. I can spend weeks and months stressing about "What to paint?" This way I'm compelled to look around me and get started. I've decided to share a couple of my favorites. I'm hopeful that I will just get better and better!

Practice makes perfect. You probably heard that saying a couple of times now, but it really does work. I remember when I started painting 4 years ago, I often hated my creations. I always get furious with myself because I am not good enough. Soon as I started to become patient and practiced a lot, I massively improved. Fast forward to today, I recreated one of my first paintings ever, and to my surprise, it looked more realistic than before. The details were spot on and the use of light really enhanced my painting. You just have to believe in your own greatness and it will show.
