Deb Ward

Although we live more than two thousand miles apart and have never met, I count Deb Ward as a dear friend thanks to the bond we've established after meeting in the blogosphere. Over the past two years, I've enjoyed reading her often humorous blog entries and watching her develop paintings. Deb moves easily between transparent and opaque watermedia, trying new techniques fearlessly as she explores a wide range of subjects, and I've regularly ooh'd and ahh'd over her finished works.

Jump to Brush-Paper-Water to see more of Deb's work and then follow the link to her blog.

Susanne Clark

I met Susanne Clark several years ago as a result of having work in a Transparent Watercolor Society of America exhibition, but it took Facebook for us to reconnect. I have been marvelling anew at her wonderful watercolors as I prepared her feature -- unusual compositions, sumptuous color, and excellent control of the medium -- a concise definition of eye candy for a watercolorist!!

Please hop over to Brush-Paper-Water to see more of her work and link from there to her gallery page at the Illinois Watercolor Society.

Sarah Yeoman

Sarah Yeoman's work spans a number of genres, all handled adeptly. Whether painting a stand of tulips or a misty lake in the Adirondacks, she sets a mood that pulls the viewer in and encourages prolonged contemplation of the subject at hand.

Please hop over to Brush-Paper-Water to see examples of her landscape work, and more, and link from there to her website.
