Capture the Moment



This watercolor painting is by Nancy Luce.  Nancy wrote:
Shelley Koopmann in her art book "Vignettes in Pastel" wrote "In my artwork, I try to stop time and capture a fleeting moment of quiet, a moment of light, a moment of joy, a moment of peace". Inspired by her art and words, I decided to do a quick drawing for the title page of a new sketch book. First I drew 4 paint brushes and a pencil fanned out in my hand. Then I wrote CAPTURE THE MOMENT and lastly added ARTISTS ON THE LOOSE to signify our great group of 16 gals

View From the Cape


Where's the snow??  This scene was from last year's snow storm, but so far we haven't had any winter scenes to paint.  I've been digging through my older photos, but am hoping we get a little white stuff soon.  Winter is my favorite season.  Why, you may ask, am I living in the South?  I'm not sure....

Potted Herbs

 
This was my herb garden I had planted a couple of summers ago.  I came across it today and decided to share it.  If I decided to paint it again I would try to get the table even, but it is still one of my favorites.
