“Painting a watercolor is an unfolding mystery. You don’t know the outcome until the end. The artist has an idea in her mind, but the fluid pigments have minds of their own. The painting evolves and the outcome is always a surprise, be it successful or disappointing. Painting watercolors is always a path of wonderment for me, and I never tire of the journey!”
