Connie's artwork starts out with curving pencil lines. After she has drawn some swirls and curves, Connie moves the paper until she "sees" what the painting will be. She then uses black ink to darken the lines she wants to keep and watercolor to bring the painting to life. Before her 50 year high school reunion, Connie had created a couple of paintings with a red hat theme. These were to show to a friend who had been celebrating "her 40th birthday" for a number of years. The paintings were such a hit that Connie had the designs made into note cards. She then created more red hat paintings and eventually had enough for a calendar.
