About me--I am a retired elementary teacher/principal. Watercolor paintings have always called to me, and I vowed to take watercolor painting lessons when I retired (my only prior art instruction was one high school art class). I discovered watercolor was quite a challenging medium, and I continue to learn with each painting I attempt. My adventure into soft pastel painting began 3 years ago--just love the richness of the pigments and the tactile experience of the application.
