Watercolor is my passion. After teaching art in the public schools for 40 + years I now have time to create art for myself. I am a watercolorist who sometimes likes to work in mixed media as well. My journey in art began when I was a small child and continues to this day. Barbara Hart Sailor

Following The Rain
I finished this painting recently for the intermediate watercolor class I am currently teaching. This is painted on 1/2 sheet of 140 lb. Arches cold-pressed watercolor paper. It was a lesson in limited palette - the colors in this are burnt sienna, antwerp blue with a little sap green. The students are doing very well on this one and seem to be enjoying it too!

It's a beautiful painting... and proof that a limited palette doesn't have to be limiting!

Barb, I was happy to see your photo from your vacation. We just returned from a major trip in Scandinavian and Nordic countries. This piece is wonderful and evokes times past. Your florals are beautiful, especially Dancing Angel. I also like your ink and wash sketch. Lovely!
¡Beautiful!
