Hi Mary, You were born to illustrate fairy tales. My favorite is the Greedy Man. Beautiful color sense. I also Like how you incorporate trees into your images.

Mary, I've enjoyed looking at your work so much., especially 'St Nicholas'.
Always good to look at artists with the same roots of inspiration as myself!

Very nice work! I was just thinking last night about how often water color looks very "flat", with little contrast, and something I want to avoid in the project I'm working on. I'm in the sketch/drawing phase now, but you've proven to me that flat water colors can indeed be avoided. Thank... more
