This was done in ink & watercolor. It is 7 x 10 and was painted in plein air. This is a local clam bar at a marina on the Great South Bay here on Long Island. A perfect spot for the sun, the breeze, a cocktail, and a bit of seafood.
Hi Joan! I really like the illustrated look you have here, with the ink! It looks so summery..I can't wait for a big basket of fried clams when I go to Maine in August!! Happy summer!!
I have always participated in the visual arts including watercolors, drawing and sketching, pen and ink, and photography. Since retiring from teaching I have devoted much of my time to watercolors, sometimes combining them with pen and ink or collage.
Watercolor is the perfect medium to capture the beauty that surrounds us. I love to travel, and sketch and paint wherever I go. Painting, especially on location, captures the spirit and life of the subject. I hope to continue doing that for a long time to come.

I also, like this fun style.
So much nice detail. Yuk on the clams.
Holly, Thanks. I'm hoping to head to Maine this month, and I'm tasting the lobster already. I'm having fun with the ink & wc.
Ron, Glad you like my "fun" style.
Jeanne - But they're so yummy... The pen seems to make it easier to do plein air without spending a real lot of time on one painting.
