This 4 x 6 was done for the WetCanvas postcard exchange. I used a sunset photo I had taken when my husband and I were driving cross country. I love the silhouette of the tree against the colors of the sky.
Rose - Thanks so much. I'm glad you came by to visit.
Lin - Thanks. It was funny but I did 2 paintings for the exchange using different photos of that same sunset. I should look for the other one and post it next.
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, the sky in this is just lovely...the colors, the movement. I took a peek at others on your blog as well, all nice, but this was my favorite!
