This is another 4 x 6 painted for the WetCanvas postcard exchange. It was painted from a photo I had taken at sunset here on Long Island looking across Shinnecock Bay.
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.

Pretty, Joan!!!! There are some things I miss about LI .... views like this ....
I love the dark cloudy sky in this one.
Lin - The views and the beaches are the best parts of LI in my opinion. Thanks.
Jeanne - The endless changing looks to the sky at sunrise and sunset still astounds me. Thanks so much.
I'd say you're becoming "famous" for your terrific sunsets! Your skies are always right on, and this is no exception!
Holly, Thank you. Sunsets are always a pleasure to do. Each one looks so different.
