BRECKENRIDGE \u2014 Watercolor artist Joey McKenna, who has spent summers in Breckenridge for the past 14 years, will have her work shown at the Coastal Branch Library in Santa Rosa Beach, Florida, through November. McKenna is a member of Women of Watercolor in Breckenridge, a weekly plein-air painting group.<\/p>\n

Called \u201cStepping Into my Nature,\u201d the exhibit is part of the library\u2019s Art in Public Places program. McKenna has been painting since her childhood but only got more serious about it later in life.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy palette of life has had so many colors, as my husband\u2019s work took us to different states and several countries,\u201d McKenna said in a news release. \u201cI learned to appreciate the diverse natural beauty and cultures of the world.\u201d<\/p>\n

She has a passion for photography, which she uses to capture the reference shots that she then paints. \u201cWith a glimpse of a possible great sunset, behind my house on Oyster Lake, I can run to the beach to capture it, and I know that taking my own pictures means my painting is 100% mine,\u201d she said in the release.<\/p>\n
