Now for a bit of a change from my ATCs. This was painted on Super Bowl Sunday last week. You can see I was ready for the game. This is 4 x 6 done in watercolor.
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.

Excellent idea! I'll have a White Russian while you have your cerveza...anyone else want to join the party?!?
Love the lettering on the bottle.
Wonderful, Joan. I love the lime and of course, a good cold Corona will sure drives the party smoothly forward. ;-)
ahh..the thoughts of summer already! Great composition!
Common objects make fabulous subjects.
This looks so refreshing and I don't do beer! Nice work. The limes look so fine.
Tracy - Thanks. Let's get this party started!!
Ai - Thanks. It was fun to paint but the lettering on the bottle was a challenge. It was that fancy script.
Holly - We could be sitting and having cocktails overlooking the marshes in Maine. Thanks.
Ron - You are right. Common objects do make good subjects. Sometimes it is hard not to drink them while you're painting. LOL
Jo - Thank you. I like painting the insides of fruit...lots of hidden color.
This is lovely. You have got working small down to a fine art. I'm used to painting big canvases and still not quite used to my small sketchbook.
I'd never have pictured you with a bottle of Corona with a slice of lime, Joan - but I do applaud your taste! Lovely work on that lime.
