"Lunchtime Up North", Watercolor, framed to 23W x 19H, $300|      Born and raised in Alaska, I have great appreciation for the beauty in the natural world around us, which I hope to convey in my paintings. After 29 years of teaching children ART and English as a Second Language, I am happy to be exercising my watercolor skills in retirement. My most-painted subjects are landscapes, portraits and florals, all of which lend themselves to the beauty of watercolor.
