I packed watercolors in my suitcase for my vacation to the States. I love the beautiful windows and flower boxes in Germany, and decided they needed to be painted. I haven’t painted in watercolor in over 15 years. Watercolors are a lot like toddlers. If you leave them alone for a minute, they have a mind of their own!  My parents were running two dehumidifiers in their Midwestern humid home while I tried to manipulated the paint.  My watercolors were drying in seconds!  It was great fun and a great challenge.  I have been preoccupied with mixed media pieces for years now, but I think I will bring out my watercolors much more often!  Two of these three paintings are castle windows.
