While my process may vary from piece to piece, more often than not my watercolor paintings follow the same formula. They begin life as an idea I’ve sketched out or a photo I’ve taken, then become a pen and ink drawing which has watercolor or watercolor pencil applied over it. In essence, I make my own coloring pages and fill them in. My friend remarked on this and through some mild cajoling as only good friends and family can do, I became the author of a coloring book in 2021.

This gallery showcases a bit of that process with some of the coloring book pages side by side with my painted versions. Copies of “Blossoms & Blooms: Volume 1” are available for purchase through the link below.
