This 7 x 10 painting was done at the same arboretum as the last painting. They have gorgeous rhododendrons in bloom there. They even snuck into the pond area making this spot look even nicer than usual.
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.

Hi Joan, looking good...I think this summer I might do some plein air. I'm used to pulling things out of thin air.
Lin - Thank you. It would be fun to paint together. Thanks for the offer of the poppy pictures.
Ron - Thanks. I would like to see what you would do in plein air. It would be hard not to have things coming in from the air.
Thanks for your kind comments, Joan -- I wasn't sure my email reach you about the greens?
This is so pretty...Oh to sit a while and listen to the birds sing.
What a delightful scene well painted!!! Joan, me too wish to paint with you one day. Ai
Anita - Sit down for a few minutes and enjoy. Thanks.
Ai - It would be fun to paint together. Thank you.
