Thank you so much for your encouraging comments. They help my confidence in trying to figure out so many different watercolor techniques.

Sandi, I love all your art, but being from Kansas originally, the sunflower is extra special! My daughter here got a little carried away with her sunflowers this year. :)

Sandi, you have become very adventurous. :) The barn scene is very nice. Was impressed with the tree over the barn. Think the shading required a lot of practice. Keep them coming.

It would be neat to have an art gallery of all of Sandi's pictures where we could all go to bowse - perhaps another subject spot? Beth - is that doable or do we not highlight individuals?

What a nice thought, but it would be a lot of work and actually more work to see all the pictures if each was in it's own post than scrolling through this thread. We don't have a gallery option.

I’m very flattered regarding your nice suggestion Evie. I appreciate each kind response from you and others and the opportunity to post my paintings here as I attempt to learn more about watercolor on a self-taught basis and occupy my dull life during the pandemic.
