I’d also like to know this mystical land. Please try and get this info for us!

Thank you! And I’ve had to get into the habit of Alt-text. It’s strange to have to describe my art because I don’t think I’ve very good at it!😅 But many people ask for it so I make sure to do it!

I paint small watercolor pieces (mostly nature 🌿✨) — can’t wait to see what you’ve been creating!

watercolor painting sheet featuring four distinct landscape scenes arranged in a grid - two on the top row and two on the bottom. Each scene is labeled with a number and a title, and they vary in mood, color, and natural setting.

Top Left – “19 Reed” A sandy path winds through tall, golden reeds and grasses, leading toward a calm body of water. The scene is bathed in warm sunlight, evoking a peaceful, coastal or lakeside atmosphere. The colors are soft and earthy, with yellows, browns, and hints of blue.

Top Right – “20 Dead End” A rocky trail ends abruptly at a cliff edge, where a single tree stands in full bloom. The sky is dramatic, painted in rich pinks and purples, suggesting either sunrise or sunset. The mood is contemplative, with a sense of isolation and beauty.

Bottom Left – “21 Purple” A vibrant field of purple flowers stretches across the foreground, with a distant tree line under a bright blue sky. The colors are bold and saturated, emphasizing the lushness and vitality of the landscape. It feels like a warm spring or summer day.

Bottom Right – “22 First Light” A rocky shoreline meets crashing waves as the sun rises over the horizon. The sky is filled with soft pastel tones—pinks, oranges, and light blues—capturing the gentle tranquility of early morning. The scene conveys freshness and renewal.

Congratulations!🎉 and thank you for hosting!

I’m a watercolour artist painting fantasy-surrealism. And I love combining colours!

Well this is….coming along….I suppose. Not quite the paper I think it should be. CP acting like HP, or 100% cotton acting like partially cellulose. Oh well!

I’m sorry to hear that.😞 It’s so heartbreaking to see loved ones go through so much. But I can see you got her tenacity! Make her proud!!🔥

91!! Amazing! My grandfather (Japanese) lived to 93 and was fit and healthy until then. I hope your grandmother lived life to the fullest until her last day. It’s sad but don’t forget those lovely memories you made when you were together!💕

I saw it the other day. It is!

Not sure when that came into play because I’ve had iPhone on and off but, my husbands and my phone has this and we both bought ours in Japan.

You’ll probably find a lot of vegan choices in the big cities, but the small towns and villages won’t have much. Some places may be able to accommodate if you ask. Good luck!
