After raising children and owning a business for many years, Donna Twyford began painting in 2013. And she’s been painting ever since.
Her “Pumpkin Patch,” featured on the cover, was inspired by an autumn visit to Family Farm in Malvern.
“There are hundreds of pumpkins in all shapes, colors and varieties you may choose from to take home. I was particularly drawn to the strong light and shadow in this display of pumpkins and mums and snapped a quick photo before selecting a few for fall décor at my home,” she says.
“I enjoy looking for surprises in the everyday things I find in nature, in displays in a flea market or capturing the human spirit in a happy or tender moment,” Donna says, adding that she loves the versatility of watercolor. “I’ve barely begun to discover all that can be done with it. I continue exploring techniques and trying to determine just who I am as a watercolor artist.”
