So INVITING Joan -- and on yet another 85+ day, I wish I were sitting in that chair!!! GRAND job -- and I applaud you for doing this in all the distractions beaches can bring!!!
Well you shouldn't run out of subjects if you do chairs. Was that one from someone sitting in your way? I can just see you sitting there painting and someone walking by and sand getting on your paint.
Lin - Thanks. I was doing this as a scavenger hunt sketch and kept going with it.
Mickey - We'll have to make sure you get to do lots of beach paintings when you come to visit. Thanks.
Jeanne - This was my beach chair. I think I was doing it for the hunt when we had to do a view from our favorite chair. I just sat on a towel with the chair in front of me. Usually I'm actually in the chair so I don't have to worry about sand in my paint.
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.

I wish I were sitting there too. Like I said on WC!, I like that shadow and the sand burying the legs of the chair. So perfect!
