This is 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 and was done on location near Boothbay Harbor, Maine. The fog was rolling in and out that morning, giving a misty look to the water in the distance. I love the coastal scenery up there...the rocks, water, and trees.
Joan, This is fantastic, and to do it ON location to boot?? Wow, Great job on your rock formations and texture. Lovely Lovely, makes me wanta be there. :) Lori
Roybn, Thanks. Maine is a place near and dear to my heart. I enjoy going up there to visit, but could never live there. There's too much peace and quiet.
Mickey, I was thinking of you while I painted this. I know how much you love Ocean Point.
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.

Nice rock work and foly age.
Nice one Joan.
Lori, Thanks. I had fun traveling around and painting these.
Ron, Thank you. Since Maine is one of my favorite places, I had to learn to do those rocks.
Jeanne, Thanks. I'm glad you like my foggy painting. I love being by the water up there. It's so interesting.
Stunning watercolour, Joan. I hope you're going to frame it. Makes me want to learn to paint rocks.
This is what I picture when I think of Maine. It makes me "wanta be there" too.
