Last year my wife quit her job as a Lawyer, taking time off to consider her options and explore her creative talents. She has been experimenting with water colours, having never painted with water colours before and after 3-4 sessions at a painting circle here are two of her efforts.
Worth the investment don’t you think?

I like the first one a lot. Nice colors, and very pleasant. Congratulation to your wife!
I think that IRL the second one is better the scanning process lighten's the original too much. But yes on the blog the first does look good.
Good for her! I wish we could afford to do that…
Its only because we have lived like paupers for so long
and we live in a town untouched by the economic crisis
I like them! Will we see more? I'm gonna drag Hannah over to have a look
I'm a "light and shadows" lover so the shadows on the road get my vote too – not that there is a vote. It's a very marketable piece.
If there are any art groups where you live, they can offer great networking opportunities with information on exhibits and competitions and often direct access to professional artists willingly sharing tips.
Contrary to popular belief, watercolour can be the most difficult and unforgiving of the media available so if she can master that, she's on a winner.
Thanks for the comments Andy, she's pretty chuffed with her results so far. She has a local artgoup now don't know about artists though
Oh, very nice! I'm not a great fan of watercolour, but these are rather good. I especially like the way the shadows in the first one give a sense of shape to the road and embankments. Will we be seeing more? ^^
Thanks and I will pass it on. We may see more see is making a handbag at the moment. Oh and I haven't forgot about the other thing either, just scraping together the pennies
Both have a very nice feeling of depth.
I was tempted to say that I'm inartistic (though it does run fairly strong in my family) but the word actually means lacking in 'sense or appreciation of art'… and I definitely do appreciate it a lot.
She has done a couple from photo's I have taken, will be uploading them as soon as I can scan them in. I am not an artist, the closest I come is taking a well composed photograph every now and again^_^
Yeah, yeah… John Lennon wrote a couple of songs based on something he heard me humming.
I totally believe you having heard your melodious voiceo.0
