We (my husband and I) spent all day Saturday sketching, painting, and HE taking pictures. We enjoyed every minute. I sketched and watercolored a picture of a Showy Orchus (they are coming up everywhere here now. The "map" is of a motor tour we love to take called "Roaring Fork Motor Nature Trail" It is so picturesque and there are many historical sites, and lots of wild flowers everywhere along this one-way (very narrow, hilly) drive along the Roaring Fork Creek (River). Lots of Dogwoods are blossoming now all through the woods and it looks so lacy. The Azaleas are blooming everywhere in town.
Oh so many memories of the Roaring Fork Motor Trail. I love that you both work together and I love your paintings. So cool to have a sketchbook. Makes me wish I could draw and paint :)
About 15 years ago, a friend enouraged me to come to a watercolor class. That was the beginning of a hobby that I truly enjoy.
A few years later, I joined a "Watercolor Sketchbook Journal" class taught by Catherine Carey author of "A Petoskey Watercolor Journal." see: www.catherinestudio.blogspot.com/
Since then we have taken many trips and watercolored and journaled most of them.
My husband and I are now retired and we both enjoy ministering to people through our Church. He does Hospital visits and ministers to the elderly. I have found that sending people greeting cards with my simple watercolor sketches on them seem to be treasured.
God has greatly enriched our lives with Beauty and I like to show my gratitude by displaying His Glory in my art. I'm hoping that my watercolors bring joy to others, and praise and worship to our Creator. Marj. M.

What a fun map, a great way to remember a wonderful day. It must be great to be out in the sun after your cold winter!
