Watercolor, Teasing Brother


This is a recent watercolor I completed a few months ago. I entered it in the 52nd Juried Spring Exhibition at the Morris Graves Museum of Art.


I was thrilled it was juried into the show and that it received "Best Portrait" It feels so good to have my art recognized!


I am so grateful for the photographer, Nina de Villeneuve, for graciously giving me me permission to use her photo as a reference! I just had to paint these children!
