Many years ago when I was eight years old, an uncle of mine bought me a present; a box of watercolors and a brush. I rushed outside, in mid-winter to paint the snow covered landscapes like those I had seen in an art gallery. I came in triumphant – a quick watercolor frozen on the paper and it melted. “My that feels like winter”, said my uncle when he saw it – and it did – a lovely loose wash of snow and trees. I was hooked. Eighty-five years later I still am!. |

This year I am having an exhibition in Mexico on October 8th, 2006 at the Coyoacan Art Museum – a retrospective of many years of watercolors painted in Mexico and many other countries. Other media – oil, casein, acrylics, and mixed media but my favorite has always been watercolor. A book “My World of Watercolor” will be off the press soon with 75 full color reproductions of some of those many papers I have covered with paint.
