Donna Ulrich

Mountains and the red cliffs like in Bryce Canyon.

Lee Anne Jensis- Carlson

Landscapes! Landscapes! Landscapes! I honestly think you can’t go wrong with any type of landscape, but I’m especially fond of trees, mountains, even simple seascapes. I do, however, find bodies of water challenging to paint, like rivers and lakes. It also might be nice to see some paintings that include reflections or mist. I love the expressive quality of your work, you can say so much with a simple brush stroke and I think your style really shines when you paint natural subjects. Just my opinion, i actually became interested in watercolor just to paint landscapes. 😊

Shelly Anderson

Candace Gularte

Coastal landscapes and reflections on water would be great! Thanks so much for all you do!

Any type perennials, like coneflower, Shasta, rudbeckia....foxglove. even flower gardens with a mixed assortment. I've also tried to do roses in watercolor.
