This was also done for the Vacation/Holiday Dreams exchange. It is 4 x 6 and done in ink & watercolor. I combined a few images from my photos of Venice for this one.
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.

your travel pictures are always such a pleasure...makes me feel like I've been there (almost!)....want to try Venice myself!
This has lovely rich colour. I was just thinking that you'd be ready for another trip to Italy. I think I will go September 2009.
Joan very good. I love the colors. Especially that bold blue. So rich.
