I hope you will share this giveaway offer with family and friends. I am happy to giveaway a gift to one subscriber from my Newsletter list. As you know we have a crowded industry and having a way to contact people who have been loyal to me over the years is very important to me. One of the ways to do this is to connect and give something away while offering to stay in touch because more good things are always coming soon. To sign up for my newsletter just click here. 

I am only now realizing there are no such things as Super Powers. But there is a lot to be grateful for. If you haven't done it yet please hit the subscribe button at the end of this video and thanks for watching. 

It is officially Peony Quest 2019. I will be posting lots of videos about the painting of peonies in the next few weeks. We are going to break it down and make this the best year ever! If you haven't  joined my Youtube channel please subscribe at the end of this video and you will not miss a minute of the journey.  The peony is my "Great White Whale" and I intend to be the victor this year. 

This video is about how to paint limes with as few paint strokes as possible. We are exploring this on my Youtube channel . Come and join us. You can find it at Jo Mackenzie and while you are there please subscribe and invite a friend to join too. 

This video is all about color value swap outs. I have an online class that teaches this along with lots of other tips and tricks. It is basically the best of the lessons I give in my studio, but it is on line and you can do it at your own pace. If you purchase this you also get to join our online group that is both informative and supportive.  Here is a link to learn more about the Visual Learners Guide to Painting. 

I also have a quick class you can do today just for fun . It will show you how to paint a peach. 

When you purchase something from me , I stand by it and will answer any and all email questions you might have. Thanks for watching! 

I have a Jo Mackenzie watercolor group on Facebook and the topic of framing is being discussed there. I am curious to hear how others tackle this pesky watercolor problem.  How do you present your work? 

I am having a one time sale. All paintings sized 7.9x7.9 or 7x11 inches are 100 dollars. This includes shipping an handling but not matting. Paintings will arrive in a single mailing envelope. I am clearing the decks for new projects and it is time to move these "little guys along". I hope you decide to take advantage of this one time offer for an original work of art. 
​More later...Jo 

I am so grateful to my friend for schooling this fool ! 

What I have learned so far: 
There are many gifts offered every day. You just have to stay open to receiving them. 

Sometimes you want to get away from it all and this painting gave me a chance to do that. It was cold and snowy but inside the studio I was feeling the warm breezes of some far off fantasy land. 
​Art can take you places! 

This video I made  called  Snarky Comments was a lot of fun to make and people wrote some funny things about it. 
I like to have fun and not take life too seriously. When you make a Youtube channel you are going to hear from lots of people who don't know you yet and who want to help,  but often the suggestions they make are random. But I read all the comments and answer every single person who takes the time to watch and write to me.
