Meet Roxanne of watercolorsNmore

I give God the glory for ability that He has given me.

I feel truly blest to be able to do what I love and have people appreciate it.

1. When did you start painting? 1979

2. Did you go to school for your painting.
I am self taught

3. What are your inspirations?

I am a lifetime Florida resident and it provides unending reference material.

I love the birdlife, landscapes florals and also paint lots of local landmarks as this area

has a rich heritage. I love painting old ornate architecture. I recently completed one of the areas’ oldest churches 1905…such a rich beautiful building with grand stained glass windows.

4. Your colors are just amazing - does that come naturally?
I love color and I do suppose it comes naturally. I can go from soothing, peaceful to bright and bold depending on the subject. Most of my watercolors are realistic; but I do enjoy abstracts which will be seen some in my ACEOs.

5. When did you decide to make jewelry out of your art?

Shortly after joining etsy, I decided I needed to focus more on lower end art. The watercolor pendants seemed to be a way to have a piece of art and wear it too.

I take pride in that my pendants are original art pieces and not from commercial sheets. Occasionally I will have a print reduced for the pendants, but prefer the original ones.

6. What technique do you like best?

I like transparent watercolor most, but whatever the subject dictates and works best, I’ll use. Sometimes it requires pen and ink which I enjoy working with also.

You do collage which is one of my favorite medias.

I do love to use collage with my watercolors and pen and ink mostly on the ACEOs.

Would you ever mix other medias into your collage?

I like to mix the different medias. I like to add acrylics as well.

I have become addicted, to etsy, that is. Mostly I love to make treasuries (as time allows). It’s neat to check out shops and get to know the different artisans and crafters.

I also love to exercise on a regular basis.

I am married and mother of 2 grown girls. The youngest is just now getting married and is keeping me rather busy with the plans.

I am very community minded and very active in a local art club.

You can say my watercolors are: Frameable, wearable and collectible.

SILLY SATURDAY

Two 90-year-old women, Bertha and Betty, had been friends all of their lives.When it was clear that Bertha was dying, Betty visited her every day.One day Betty said, 'Bertha, we both loved playing softball all our lives, and we played all through high school. Please do me one favor: when you get to heaven, somehow you must let me know if there's women's softball there.'Bertha looked up at Betty from her deathbed and said, 'Betty, you've been my best friend for many years. If it's at all possible, I'll do this favor for you.'

Shortly after that, Bertha passed on.

A few nights later, Betty was awakened from a sound sleep by a blinding flash of white light and a voice calling out to her, 'Betty, Betty.''Who is it', asked Betty, sitting up suddenly. 'Who is it?''Betty -- it's me, Bertha.''You're not Bertha. Bertha just died.''I'm telling you, it's me, Bertha,' insisted the voice.'Bertha! Where are you?''In heaven,' replied Bertha. 'I have some really good news and a little bad news.''Tell me the good news first,' said Betty.'The good news,' Bertha said, 'is that there's women's softball in heaven. Better yet, all of our old buddies who died before me are here, too. Even better than that, we're all young again. Better still, it's always Springtime and it never rains or snows. And best of all, we can play softball all we want, and we never get tired.''That's fantastic,' said Betty. 'It's beyond my wildest dreams! So what's the bad news?

''You're pitching Tuesday.'-------

Life is uncertain - eat dessert first.
