Hi, I'm Claudia Nice, artist, author, art instructor, lover of nature and animals,

Welcome to my site.  I have posted some pictures to share with you.  The first one is Leo Grumpus, my latest rescue cat.  He looks like a lion and has the heart to match.  Picture number two is of two more of my rescue animals, Merlin the White Sheperd and his naughty Siamese friend Jaspurr.  The rest of the pictures are of recent watercolor paintings I have done.  The seascape will be in a new book I am presently writing.  The river painting is from my newly published landscape book, Creating Textured Landscapes.  The other paintings are in miniature ACEO format and have been sold or traded, one of which is going to Russia.

I have posted my workshops for this spring, summer and fall.  You can read about them on my web site.  www,brightwoodstudio.com   I would love to have you join me in the beautiful Mt. Hood resort area for a painting retreat.

Sincerely,

Claudia Nice
