Don't you just love these San Francisco houses? This was done for the Vacations exchange I'm doing on WetCanvas. This is 4 x 6 done in ink & watercolor from one of my own photos.
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 love these houses. They aren't that easy to draw tho.
Jo - Thanks. I love the character of old buildings too.
Jeanne - I wish at some point I had taken a class in perspective. It would make life much easier.
Yes! (I, of course, love these houses.) Good job, makes me want to get out the ink...
