2012 Christmas Card painted by Joan

In 2009, I met local artist and teacher Brenda Kidera and began taking watercolor classes with her. This card is printed from a painting worked on in her Holiday Ornament classes. It is not "my original painting", because the compositions and idea were Brenda's. I one day hope to create my own compositions and paintings, but until then, they are Brenda inspired! I am so grateful for her talent, her friendship, and her generous nature in her teaching and in life. Please chek out her incredible work at www.kiderafineart.com

2011 Christmas Card

I was fortunate enough to meet a local watercolor, acrylic and oil artist, Brenda Kidera, in 2009 and began watercolor classes with her as an absolute beginner. Brenda has been constant in her encouragement of my efforts to master the medium. In 2010, I began a new tradition of sending watercolor holiday cards printed from my paintings that were from her photographs and from her patient instruction.
