Linda Curtis,The act of painting is meditative for me, and often results in a painting which engenders a peaceful feeling in others. That feeling is my intent. I believe I can capture the transitory nature of my subjects by using techniques which are available to me primarily in water media. Sharon Scott - Watercolorist
