January Artomat Little Inspirations series

In January 2020, I sent off another series of hand painted ornaments to Artomat . Each wooden round is cut from either maple or oak wood.

New floral watercolor class on Skillshare

Image
Happy Holidays I hope you have had a very good year. I am really looking forward to 2019, and hoping it will have not any hurricanes or record rainfall levels in it. (We have had a hard year in NC, USA in 2018, and this is why I have had to delay my new class releases -- forgive me!) New Watercolor Class Today is Christmas (Dec. 25), and as a special gift to you, I have uploaded a new class that's totally different from my abstract art classes. In this class, you will learn a simple method to paint a flower in watercolors. Then we will outline the flower and add a hand-lettered word of inspiration.   I paint these flowers for Art-o-mat and sell them all over the world. I hope you enjoy this class free free for the next few days. I will change settings to a paid class soon, so be sure to let folks know they can watch it free if they act now. Free just for a few days You can send friends and family this link to let them enjoy the class for free....
