Two views of Joanne’s tranquil gardens
I stayed with my friend Joanne and her spontaneous cats while I was in Muscatine for a tribute to artist Carol Steinmetz, a long-time member and teacher at the Muscatine Art Center and member of Iowa Watercolor Society who passed away earlier this year. Carol was known for her floral paintings and landscapes, and we used flowers from Joanne’s abundant gardens for a still-life watercolor workshop in Carol’s honor.
When I was at Joanne’s house getting ready for class her cats would walk across my paper making pansy-like footprints. I really enjoyed being around cats again.
You can read a bit more about Carol Steinmetz and see a photo of her with some of her work in this article on the Discover Muscatine site:
