Very impressed. Watercolour is a difficult medium. Your painting really evokes the grandeur of that breathtaking scenery.

Your artwork is breathtaking. I have been to this exact place and I have very fond memories of watching the sunset there.

Thank you for sharing.

Fabulous Sasha!

Sedona is so beautiful.

Wish I had known you were going to be so close so to beg for a snapshot with you.

Blessings.

Ok. Now I have a different feeling about using watercolors. After watching your video, I'm actually excited to try it. I have always kept a set of watercolors in my travel bag for taking quick "notes" while on the road. I never really enjoyed them that much otherwise. Thanks! (And I also enjoyed the music.)

Sasha your speed and confidence is inspiring to say the least. i haven't messed with watercolors since childhood but this makes me want to revisit that.

love your soundtracks too. mendelssohn the other day was delicious. hans zimmer this time?

So I was going to ask Sasha, what is going to happen when our images ( my photographs, her paintings) are taken over by AI and recycled to any and all those who ask for " Sedona landscape as a watercolorist would paint it" or "Shirley Chisholm at the Democratic National Convention, Miami Beach?" How is your mind and soul adjusting to that?

I don't really care what they try to do with AI. I sell original artwork, and AI will never replace that. In fact, IMO, original realist artwork will be even more desirable.

That's very heartening, Sasha. From your mouth to G-d's ear. I hope people will feel the same way about my vintage darkroom prints. I know your work will live on.
