High Key Watercolor Portrait

I started out as a watercolor painter then turned towards painting with oils.  Although I tend to paint more using oils, I occasionally feel the urge to break out the watercolors.  This was painted from a photo I took last month.  I wish I had taken more photos of this wonderful woman.

I am a juried member of Vanguard Artists and we just held a show, "Forty Years of Excellence" at the West Valley Arts Council Gallery in Surprise, AZ.  I was fortunate to have my two entries among the 80 painting juried into the show and one sold.  This painting, "First Nation Man" now has a new home in Vancouver, Washington.
