http://watercolorwhirl.blogspot.com
I created my blog to introduce you to myself and to my artwork. In it you will follow my artistic progression, trace my exhibits, learn of my latest watercolor and mixed media offerings. I am the mother of three sons of whom I am exceedingly proud. Through them I have been rewarded with their wonderful wives and five fantastic grandsons. They all enhance my life with great joy. Their love and encouragement are projected into my artwork.
