    thank you for sharing your story. I cried as you told it, because I didn't know until a friend paid for 2 painting classes for my 49th birthday that I could paint. When I first started, I thought I would go out of my mind! I was noticing colors, textures and light for, it seems, the first time in my life, and I wanted to know how to paint everything I saw! lol. I am not confident at all, but may get to that point at some time in my life. It doesn't matter. I like painting anyway. That, and my photography. Thanks again!

    As I'm rediscovering my artistic voice (after 30 years!) I am inspired by artists such as yourself, who share your amazing talents and wisdom generously with others. I'm so grateful to have found your videos and website, and I'm learning as I go along this journey. Thank you for sharing your journey with us ... your artistic voice is so valuable and you are a gift!

    I was told as a child that being an artist, "anyone can do that" and that I should look for a "real" job. Got married to a most wonderful man who encouraged me to go back to college and get my BFA. finished at age 47 and have never looked back. I really enjoyed your workshop in AZ. Thank you.

      Brenda, The richness of your watercolours is what I would also like to know the brand. I like the fact that in some of your art the buildings are sloped, windows aren't straight, which reminds me of the dream world. Do you teach any on line courses with that emphasis? My back ground is the dream world and I would like to work with that more through water colour.

You are such an inspiration and so beautiful. Your watercolors are amazing. Thank you for sharing your story and your talent! Blessings! Sandy Zando

    Brenda, it was a pleasure meeting you - and your loving husband - through your video story of how you found your voice. I identified with it, as I suspect many have and will. It is a story worth telling and hearing. I hope I can find my watercolor voice in time, just as you did. In the meantime, thank you for sharing your story with us. It is genuinely inspiring. BTW, your truck is a work of art in itself... gorgeous. You and hubby did a fine job restoring it. Best of luck in your watercolor journey and life journey.

    Beautifully inspiring story! I love the old truck story and your conquering of fear! The whole reminds me of the poem: "Hokusai Says" by Roger Keyes.
    "Hokusai says look carefully.
    He says pay attention, notice.
    He says keep looking, stay curious.
    He says there is no end to seeing..."
