This is the last of my 2.5 x 3.5 pen & washes that I did for the WetCanvas ATC exchange. It was done from one of my own photos taken in Venice. The windows are so often adorned with flower boxes, and laundry hanging is a very common sight there.
I can't ever see this view of Venice without thinking of the homes along the Battery in Charleston, SC .. "Rainbow Row' -- where each house is a different, rainbow color! TERRIFIC, Joan! I really LOVE our Italy sketches!
Lin - I never thought of comparing the houses in Charleston with those in Venice, but you have a good point. The coloring is very similar. I've been to Charleston, and would love to go back.
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.

This one is a little gem, Joan!
I love the funky colors and the laundry.
