watercolor painting-The Morning Run
In 1991 I began a study of watercolor art. I loved painting and expanding my horizons in a new direction. It was a totally unexpected exploration. One day I mentioned to Jim, my husband, that it would be fun to take a few watercolor lessons from a mutual friend and dancer, Hannah. Jim bought me my first lessons. I continued to study with Hannah for a year. It took me to places within myself that I never expected to go. Jim, it appears was my muse.

Although I think about my brushes often, and I carry them with me wherever I wander, since Jim’s death I have very rarely picked up my paint brushes. I don’t know what makes me hesitate to pick them up. I wonder at times if it is grief or lost of interest or the fact that I know the first several attempts will be feeble at best. It may just have performance anxiety.
My artistic flare has turned to a new direction. I love to take photos. As with my watercolors my photos seem to be eclectic, although my main focus is on nature and those wild places I love to explore. Over the past five years, I have shared several in the posts on this blog.
With the encouragement of some of my professional photographer friends I have been putting together a website featuring my photos. I like the line of it. It is clean and simple and easy to navigate. It will be a changing site as I add more photos, delete others and explore how to improve the site and make it better. All the photos are for sale and I am willing to work with special requests.

This is the official announcement of my new photographic website, going live. As with this blog, come and explore. The slideshow on the home page is slow to start, be patient and wait. It is worth it.
Share the site with your friends and family. Offer me your feedback and suggestions. I will consider wisely, all comments.
If you like what you see come back often and explore photography through an artist’s eye.
Journeys of Thankfulness 
You’re an incredibly talented water colorist. Photographer as well. How about a website with both your forms of art. ….once you start painting again. Photography is immediate. Painting is a process. Different expressions of one’s self.
I am partial to your watercolors– I had not seen the ones you included. They are fabulous . Include them as well on your photo site for sale. You not only have an eye for composition but a gift for expression through your painting. I hope you come back to it as well. Much love on this winter Solstice dear friend. Leslie kleinfeld
Beautiful! You’re a woman of many talents. Glad you’re putting a site together.
I love your art. It is so free flowing and beautiful. One of the best things about you. When are you going to get the kitty to pose for her pic?
