    Oh I love these! I have always enjoyed magazines with illustrations by artists like Caitlin MacGauley. I remember the charming art work in Gourmet magazine and others. These watercolors are whimsical and smart, just as you described.

    Why must watercolors look so easy? Are they mocking me? These are marvelous. Thank you.
