As much as I love to paint, I also love taking photographs. When I pause to take a photo, it makes me pause and really look at what is in front of me, admire nature's gifts, the subtle colors and shapes. Many of my photos I then transform into watercolor paintings, but sometimes a photo is just a photo capturing a moment in time. It is a way to capture memories of places I have been, or the way the sunlight moves across a space, or the way the sun casts shadows in a unique way.
