Nora's Art Nook

Nora's Art Nook Let Nora tell your story about a family memory, and illustrate it with a custom watercolor! I have lived in Frederick, MD for over 30 years.

I am a primarily self taught watercolor artist. I enjoy spending time with my grandchildren; watching baseball and/or hockey. My favorite food group is chocolate.

This is probably my last sketch for the challenge. I'm facing some health challenges that will require all my attention for a while.

The prompt I chose for this sketch was FRAGMENT. Aren't you just dying to open this door, so you can see the garden that's hiding back there? This is my favorite kind of fragment.

I went outside! With my sketchbook! I've been walking a lot lately, of course, but not to sketch. I found this cute little cottage on Shookstown Rd, and wanted to finally do a house portrait again. But there was nowhere public to park, so I used the neighbor's driveway to take a hurried photo instead. That sort of counts like plein air, doesn't it?

This is the image from the 4th class in Journeys of Looking by Ian Fennelly. I loved capturing the Cross as the foreground image, with all those delightful buildings in the background! Great fun.

I've been getting ready for some future craft shows. This month's project has been painted SLATES! I had to break large slate tiles into pieces, drill holes (really hard), sand the edges... all before I could even start to paint. Tell me which is your favorite, please!
