This is 4 x 6 and was done in ink & watercolor for the WetCanvas Vacation exchange. I did it from a photo I had taken of the agriturismo we stayed on in Castellina, Italy.
What an inviting place to visit (and sip a bit) -- wonderful colors, Joan .. very beautifully done!! (If I bring the bread and cheese, think we could get there by dinner?)
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.

Oh it looks such a beautiful place to stay
Lin - Thanks. You only need to bring the cheese. We can buy the wine right there!!
Anita - It was so lovely and so relaxing. Thanks.
Ahhhh, you know I would like to be there!
Jo - I'd like to be there too. I think it would be exciting to be there when they harvest all the grapes!
Hi Joan, I have been a bad blogger lately as summer is my busy construction time. Your travel documentary paintings look great.
Ron - Thanks. I was wondering what you were up to since you haven't posted much on your blog lately.
You've done a beautiful job with this one, Joan. The people who own the agriturismo would probably love some postcards of it!
