Welcoming 2010

Happy New Year Everyone!
Are you a resolution maker and breaker? I was....:) so I stopped making new years resolutions a few years back. Hey, if you don't make them you can't break them, right?
So, I don't know if this is a resolution or just a goal but I do plan to blog more often. My plan is already nine days behind... but I can't go back so the best thing for me to do is begin!

Today is a special day. First, it was my Grandmother's birthday. She's been gone for 18 years now and I still miss her every day. I wish I could share some of my news with her. I believe she would be proud of me. She was always such a sweet lady.

And today is the 10th Anniversary of my online watercolor group called Watercolor Workshop.
It is a group hosted by Yahoo! and our membership is hovering just under 2000 members from around the world. It's hard to believe ten years has gone by since we began sharing emails about watercolor online. I've made so many wonderful friends through this group and I know that the group has made a difference and served as a stepping stone to many watercolorists who have come and gone and many who are still active. It's been amazing to watch their careers grow and take off successfully. Smiling I can honestly say ..."I knew them when..."

So here's to the wonderful watercolor artists at Watercolor Workshop! Thanks for making our group one of the best if not the very best groups online!


Keep those brushes wet!

Happy Anniversary to WatercolorWorkshop. I haven't been active there lately, but it was my first introduction to a watercolor forum, and a lifesaver to me in a lot of ways. I will always remember how much I learned from you, as well as the other members. I need to get back to painting more regularly, and to posting more regularly too.

P.S. I don't make resolutions either, for the same reason. :-)
