It is such a struggle to draw, and I do plan on continuing my quest... but, I love using color and painting!

by Marge:
A few years ago, I photographed this participant at a Native American pow-wow. In translating the photo into this watercolor, I was interested in the energy, color, music, and beauty of Native American culture.

by Jacqueline:
During one of those days when I grappled with "what to paint?", Eileen convinced me to tackle this subject because she felt I could do it justice. The subject matter — food — is near and dear to my heart, and I believe the painting achieved a level of realism that reflects both my love for the subject matter and the joy I felt painting it.

| Walker |
by Molly:
2013 was a big year. Not only did I get married, but my husband started up his own fly fishing guide business, Big River. As if all that weren't enough, my best friend had a baby — Walker, my god son and little buddy! I chose these two paintings because they make me happy and both represent new beginnings!

by Glen:
I think this looks pretty good, considering I did it by looking in a mirror. I am regrowing the beard now — so it's deja vu all over again.

| Grizzly Gilchrist |
by Steve:
I chose this piece because of the color selection and the content. I enjoy the rich colors I used — which are not typical of my paintings. The painting serves as a reminder to reach out and not always stay with your familiar routine... if there is an open door, walk through. If the door is closed, open it.

by David:
I saw this image as the lead-in to a TV magazine crime story set on a cold wintry New England night; immediately, my mind flashed onto Robert Frost's iconic poem Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening. After the storm ended and the sky cleared, those woods must have looked just so. When I look at it, this painting focuses my hopes that I may be blessed with many more miles to go before I sleep.
