I attended my first meeting of the Society of Watercolor Artists in Fort Worth last night. I was invited to attend as a guest, and was a little intimidated by the thought of all those great artists and their amazing paintings. But I actually felt welcomed and pretty comfortable. I found out there were all levels of talent in the room. There were some really good paintings on display, but also found several people that paint at the same level I do. I do feel like I'm still a beginner, but know I'm probably a little further along than that. I'd like to find the time to actually put forth the effort to get really good at this. I sure didn't think it would be anything I would ever enjoy doing, but I have to admit it's pretty fun. I don't know if I'll really ever paint a great painting, but I think I'm going to give it a try again to see just what I can do.
By the way, here's a painting by Soon Y. Warren. I find this absolutley amazing. To be able to control watercolor paint, and make it as brilliant as this is beyond me. This is something I want to be able to do someday!
