Wow, Michal! I just received the Chabad calendar and your artwork is gorgeous! I am a block print artist and my daughter is a stain glass artist. Your work reminds me of both. Could you explain your method?

Thank you, Susanna!
I am a watercolor artist. Always impressed by the beauty of stained glass, I've decided to add black permanent ink to the paintings. I usually do the black outlines first-then the watercolor.
Again, thank you for your uplifting comments!
Happy New Year to you and your family!
