From Bonnie in Mexico: “My husband and I live in a very remote area in northern Coahuila, Mexico where we manage a 400,000 acre wildlife conservation area. I love watercolor and painting the Mexico borderlands. On the back page of your book which I love and use daily, there is a paragraph to contact you and for a fee you will critique my work. Where do I mail this?”
From Joan in California: “What a wonderful accomplishment! Your beautiful book truly reflects all the many lessons you taught over the years. I purchased two books, one for me and one for my sister-in-law. Also, I want to thank you for the nurturing and believing in your students.”
From Cathy in Lebanon: “I bought your book at a shop in Beirut, Lebanon on Hamra Street and have read all of what you have written. I have tried to recreate many of your color charts and have found them truly helpful. I wanted to say thank you for creating this book. I have learned so much from your book and wish that one day I could take a painting workshop with you.”
From Helen in Pennsylvania: “Thank you for sending me the publicity on your new book. I went to Barnes & Noble and ordered one. I read the entire book and was very impressed with it. I think that your goals were met. Anyone who wanted to do watercolors would benefit from it—it is a very beautiful book—I loved all of it. I learned a lot about color mixing. Your reasons for publishing this book were right on target. Congratulations on an awesome book.”
From Rikki in California: “Congratulations on your book. It is just fabulous. I recommend it to all of my students.”
From Lisa in California: “Congratulations on the publishing of your book. I am so happy for you! You inspire me by your drive, talent and motivation. You should be proud of all the hard work you put in to make this happen! I am so proud of you!”
From Al in California: “I just received my copy of your book from Barnes & Noble. It’s GREAT! Helen and I have both been browsing the book, and I’m sure that we will treasure something like this created by such a wonderful, talented and God inspired artist.”
From Ellie in Virginia: “My friend gave me a gift of your new book, Wonderful World of Watercolor. What a delight! After leafing through to see your lovely watercolors, I found myself reading page after page. I compliment you on the easy to read and follow text. You have certainly become a powerful teacher. I will take the book with me to the critique group I have been a member of for over 28 years. Some of them are teachers, some have been accepted into AWS shows and others struggle with making a good green. I am sure they will all enjoy your perspective on color and watercolor and hopefully buy their own copy.”
From Shirley in Virginia: “Got the book today and it is wonderful! I have just flipped through it but the colors are great! And the paintings! I have also found the topics exciting and will use it as my textbook to try things out.”
From Thea in Las Vegas: “I’ve read and re-read Wonderful World of Watercolor, made notes and today I cleaned off my workbench in the garage which is going to be my studio.” I scrubbed my old palette, have my list of needed colors in hand, have my 3-ring binder started with notes and ideas and am so anxious to get started with a real picture! I now have my color charts all done except for the red which I’ll be able to finish before sundown. What an inspiration you are!”
From Beverly in Knoxville: “Congratulations—the watercolor book is awesome! Thank you so much for sharing it with us.”

From Mary in San Diego: “Overall, Wonderful World of Watercolor is a very rich and compelling book to pick up! It just glows with possibilities for students-to-be with the range of work it expresses...yet the whole of it is so cohesive.”
From Melinda in San Diego: “I received the book and Wowww!!! It is so beautiful!!! The cover is the prettiest I have seen yet on any watercolor books, and you’ve covered a lot of things in there that I have never seen on any others. I’ve done a lot of reading and am setting up the paint as we speak.”
From Lisa in Cincinnati: “Congratulations on the publishing of your book. I am so happy for you! You inspire me by your drive, talent and motivation. You should be proud of all the hard work you put in to make this happen.”
