I painted this ATC (2.5 x 3.5) from my photos of Positano, Italy. I love all those buildings perched on the hillside and the church that dominates the waterfront.
Oh to have been there!! A woman in my Italian class spent a few months in Positano --!!! She said all she did was walk up and down stairs!! GREAT GREAT sketch, Joan!! Keep 'em comin'!!
Wonderful! Amazing the depth you achieve in this small size. Sounds like a place that involves way to much exercise...but it was obviously worth it. Another to add to the kitchen tiles collection!!
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.

Joan, this tells a great story. Nice work.
Lin - That's exactly what you do in Positano, climb stairs or walk on the steep road through the town. Thank you. I have lots more to post.
Jo - Thank you. Positano was such a wonderful place to visit, but a pain in the --- to get to.
