My favorite beaches are those that have sand dunes and grasses. I love the interesting patterns in the grasses, especially the dried leaves and roots. This is 7 x 10 and was painted while I sat in the beach walkway last week.
Joan -- you are just making me green with envy!! I haven't seen the beach in AGES!!! WONDERFUL rendering, JOan!! I too love those grassy/flowering dunes!! LOVE the colors here -- can you send me some sand!!!
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.

Lin - Thanks so much. I'll send you some sand. Do you want some grass with it?
I knew I would find a relaxing beach if I came over here. I'm in landlocked New Mexico. :)
I love all these beach scenes. Your watercolors are so full of life.
I always love your dune paintings - they bring back so many memories of our beach days as kids.
love the color of that water.
Jo - Thank you. Should I send you some sand and waves??
Mickey - Sand, surf, shells!!! Thanks.
Jeanne - Thank you. I love how the color of the ocean changes in different places, in different weather, at different times of the day, etc.
Your dunes remind me of 'home', Joan. That perfect white sand and the lovely grasses. Your dune paintings are always me favourites too.
Robyn, I'm glad you like it and that it reminds you of home. No beaches in Tuscany, but what a place!
