My name is Paula
Tooman. I really love doing watercolor painting. The colors intrigue me and the
techniques always present interesting challenges. In my thirties I started
painting – but was busy raising two children so could not paint as often as I
desired. In my forties my husband and I adopted fourteen children – thirteen
Ethiopians and one handicapped girl from the United States. The children were
and are a joy – and sometimes a sorrow. We certainly felt emotions parallel to
those experienced by parents all over the world – multiplied by fourteen! As
was expected they did keep me very busy and I found time to paint only
sporadically. Now I’m in my early seventies and we only have three children at
home. My husband prepared a home studio for me and I am enjoying the freedom to
regularly paint again with my beloved watercolors. It is such a luxury to have time
to paint again and I’m having great fun doing it!

I enjoy most of all painting
flowers, people, and landscapes. They lend themselves to the use of a great
variety of painting materials, many color variants, and a host of presentation
and brushing techniques. I am always reading books and watching DVDs or YouTube
tutorials by other artists to encourage
myself to try new ideas and to look at each new blank paper as a new and
interesting challenge.
