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

Color My World
This colorful sunflower painting was finished this evening. It will be a lesson for the class I teach at Riverside Art Center in Wapakoneta, Ohio. This painting is painted on Acquerello 140 lb. cold-pressed watercolor paper - a new paper for me which I am trying out. I purchased it from Dick Blick and it is made in Italy. So far, I like it real well. I used about 4 photos to compose this painting and it is 11" x 11". I tried some new watercolor paint - I particularly like the sap green from Maimeri Blu and the Indian Yellow from Dick Blick.
