This is 4 x 6 and was done while sitting on my patio gazing out at the woods. Of course in real life you can see the fence and roofs in the background. It was fun to just paint the woods.
SO PRETTY, Joan!!!! I love the loose interpretation too ...! How funny, I too wanted something a bit looser than ususal ... guess it's summer and we're ready to relax! Good job -- did you find it hard leaving out the fence?
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.

Are you sure you live in New York?

Jeanne - Yes, but not in the "big city." We're about 1 1/2 hrs from Manhattan, and there are a lots of spots out here that are very rural.
Lin - Thanks. It was easy to leave out the fence. I just added a few more background trees instead.
What a wonderful shrub. I love your intertwined leaves. Welldone.
