How lovely this looks Karen, I can't wait for Spring to raise it's head! Congratulations on your book! You must tell us the title so we can check it out.

Thanks Jim and Margaret! It's called 'A Passion for Watercolour' and at the moment is just available through my website and shows, as I've really written it in response to getting asked an awful lot of questions at shows.

Those colours are glowing. This would brighten up any wall on a cold wet day like today and a reminder that Spring is coming.

Love this Karen. The beautiful loose, delicate approach has a fabulous effect. A perfect example of less is more.

A busy start to the year here, having just published my first watcolour book. A labour of love, I hurt my back last year and couldn’t stand for long to paint for a week or so. I turned to writing, and to cut a long story short, didn’t come up for air! Now, I can turn my mind to the changing seasons and fresh new work, with a fixed back, and I can perhaps take some of my own advice about painting looser!
