Tree of Life with Turquoise. For International Women’s Day, this ink and watercolor represents both the seen (trunk, branches and leaves) and the unseen (roots) aspects of women. It tells the story of merging in a loving embrace and creating new life. Turquoise is a stone that has been known around the world to promote healing. It is a stone that brings about a connection between heaven and earth, as also symbolized by the tree itself. @animal_artby_nanci #montclairinstituteforlifelonglearning #treeoflife #treeoflifeart #womensday #internationalwomensday #internationalwomensday2022 #watercolor #watercolorart #watercolorandink #penandink (at Bloomfield, New Jersey) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ca2AL98rmLF/?utm_medium=tumblr

Favorite piece of jewelry. Spotted in a hotel shop in Vilnius, I had to have it. The combination of turquoise and amber was so appealing to me. I have worn it a lot over the years. @deluca1646 #watercolor #watercolorpainting #watercolorart #turquoisejewelry #turquoiseandamber #favoritenecklace #vilniusamber #montclairinstituteforlifelonglearning (at Bloomfield, New Jersey) https://www.instagram.com/p/CaDIhYjOqi2/?utm_medium=tumblr

If you normally get a Christmas card in the mail from me, sorry it’s going to be late. Just finished it this morning! I was taking an online watercolor class with @nicki_traikos and I wanted to wait to get to the lettering lessons at the end. Though I was tempted to just set the type and send it out earlier. Surprising how challenging it is to paint letters with a watercolor brush, even for someone with a background in graphics and typography. I’m glad I stuck it out. I really like it. It all looks so organic. Hope you do too. I loved the class and it has been a fun way to practice during the break from my wonderful lessons with @deluca1646 @bastilleday14 at #montclairinstituteforlifelonglearning #watercolor #letteringinwatercolor #practicemakesperfect #practicepracticepractice (at Bloomfield, New Jersey) https://www.instagram.com/sandygola/p/CXt2PvbvRKM/?utm_medium=tumblr
