Diane I love love love this painting! It's so whimsical. I love the chicken, bunny, and cat at the base of the tree. Your choice of using all blues and greens in the tree trunk and all the birds was top notch. I love what that did for the overall painting. Oh but I can't forget for pure pleasure and FUN the beautiful gold pen!!! And lastly the fun of adding those pretty little blooms and gold leaves. Ahhh, just going back thru it piece by piece was exciting and has me ready to start sketching. Thank you so very much for the different directions you take us and all the ways you teach us to love and grow with our art. And also to have FUN!!!💕👍👣

This is a favorite of mine. She had me at the chicken 🙏🏽 with this one. It’s always an easy calming mental health exercise just to listen and paint with her. Dianne’s calming voice is worth more than an hour with a therapist. I would love to find an art therapist like her. If only I lived in France…… 😊💖

In addition to the countless things you teach us about watercolor painting, one of the qualities you have is helping us to not take ourselves, or our expectations for ourselves, too seriously. In my own personal experience while working with you, is that I have permission to lighten up and enjoy the trip! It changes the mindset and opens up the imagination. There is nothing better to help us. Your students from your past were lucky to have had you. I apologize for the diatribe, but I want you to remember how much you impact all of us, lucky enough to have found you! Thank you again…….now to get paper and do a tree with birds❤️..

This was a wonderful watch (and listen) last evening.............I really love the look of the tree trunk. You made me laugh with your commentary - not knowing where it's going to go! And I like just listening to you as you decide what to do. (And, of course, nature in the background!) I was familiar with the Celtic reference - my daughter painted one almost life size on a wall in the kitchen of her first house! This could also be adapted to be a family tree - with the number of birds coresponding to the number of family members.

Then you put the printout on the paper you want to paint on and draw over the lines - Bob's your uncle! Glad you enjoyed the tree.
