I called it an epiphany!

The day I "saw" how to draw, I was the only grandmother in the classroom!

Today, I am truly blessed to be in this place; with my family in Michigan and also in my state of mind.

It's magical!

To me, painting with water is calming & natural.  In choosing a subject, I am drawn to those same qualities.

Without exception, when inspiration flows, the water follows and it is this peaceful spirit that I strive to share.

Thank you for being part of the magic!
