Joyce E Green

 I chose to paint the positive aspects of life.  I strive to create memorable and personally creative authentic visions, carefully designed and technically proficient in watercolor.  I prefer the medium of watercolor because it allows the building of rich layers of glazed colors and textures which reflect back through the white of the paper.  My images usually focus on human, animal, and water themes, but generally on anything that moves, or moves me!  Watercolor is infinitely various, subtle and challenging.
