Love your watercolors. I oil paint. I’ve tried watercolor, but don’t have the patience for it.
Thanks, Brenda. Oil is fun, too. Just a whole different approach.
U r doing excellent water colour.
Thank you, Mohsin.
Hi Anne! I’m bowled over by your wonderful art work! I showed some of it to a friend of mine whose daughter has a horse and is also a horse lover. She just had her first baby and is a violinist in Hannover )I think). My friend is interested in buying a horse painting from you for her daughter as a gift. What would one cost and which one could you part with? (You must have a lot of them!) Since I’ll be visiting your mom in August I would be able to take it back with me. But first I have to know if my friend, Mechthild is really interested and if the cost isn’t too high for her.
you are doing a lovely job 🙂
Thanks! So are you! 🙂
Love the energy and emotion in your watercolors.
Thanks, Mary Ann! I love doing animals in watercolor since the fluidity of the medium is so well suited to portraying their life energy.
