Tuesday Morning Watercolor Project "Kommern, with Moan Flowers"

We just finished a new painting in the Tuesday Morning Watercolor class that meets here in my studio. The students are enjoying working from the reference material that I have brought back from the trip to Germany and Paris this last summer. I am still trying to recover from that one..lots happened while I was over there. Perhaps I will share those experiences on another post.


This painting is of a place called Kommern. It is a sort of outdoor museum of very old German houses and villages that have been moved and rebuilt at this park. They are called, "Fachwerksheuser". This place was amazing and they way they reconstructed these homes on site was very interesting. Check out the link about the place, and be sure to click on the "translate" button so you can read about it. http://www.kommern.lvr.de/freilichtmuseum/

 It was a beautiful day when I visited there with my Onkel Willie, Tante Maria, my cousin Silvia and her twin boys, Marc and Denis. I took so many pictures, and so wished that I could bring my students there to work on location. Perhaps some day I will set up just such a workshop. If you are interested in being on a list for traveling workshops, please email me, and I will be sure to get you on the list.

These are some of my girls working on the next painting, again of Kommern, this time of a cute little house with some hollyhocks in front.
Please share this blog with anyone you feel might be interested, but remember, the images herein are copyrite of the artist.
