I am obsessed by color. I am a sucker for the drama of striking light. I keep being drawn to the lush fullness of fruit. I’m soothed by looking at flowers. I think food can be as beautiful as anything else. I want only the simplicity of watercolor – painting pure pigment on cotton paper. I love to make these paintings.

For four years I faithfully wrote weekly journal entries for my blog.  Now and then I go back to what I’ve written and think that some of this huge body of  content could be given new life – but the impulse was to use my speaking voice this go-round.

Watercolor Conversations with Cara Brown is the result.  I am re-visiting some of these journal entries – sharing the stories, seeking, and inspiration in my written words – along with whatever else occurs to me to say at this point in time.
