About Doris Blessington
Also known at Ting Blessington, lifelong nickname with which I sign my paintings. I have painted in oils, acrylics and watercolors, and recently concentrating more on watercolors based on the wonderful serendipity of the medium and plein air painting and sketching which is a work in process. Flora and fauna and wild life inspire many of my paintings as well as beautiful Savannah, city of the trees.
