I was so happy to learn that my first instructional art book “Nature Painting in Watercolors” (Walter Foster, 2021) was translated into Italian. I’ve been thinking about teaching some workshops abroad and this would be a great element to add to the program. Of course, my Italian is just awful so perhaps I should really make an effort to learn the language.
Trees, trees and more trees!
I’ve been painting and sketching on the go lately. Currently obsessed with trees! Can’t stop looking at them on my walks. Some of the trees here in Montclair are over 100 years old. The weather here has finally warmed and I have really enjoyed getting outside and breathing the fresh air. Pollution is way down due to so many businesses shut down. Car emissions down due to lack of commuters. So in that aspect, it’s great. I am so sooooo grateful that I have had this book project throughout all this. It has kept me focused and I work long days, which I much prefer to sitting around! This book will be coming out next year now—March as listed on Amazon. I hope everyone is safe and in good health.
