About Me
- Joan
- 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 think these are terrific, Joan! I can't imagine trying to sketch fast enough to catch these animals on the run! SuPER! Sounds like a fun day!
Lin - Thanks. I would start on one bird and he would run away, so I'd start on another and hope the first one would come back. It is a challenge, but fun!
Hi Joan, good field(farm?)work, you are fearless!
Ron - Thanks. I was sitting there painting and all of a sudden they let the goats out of their pen to be fed. It was wild!
Hi Joan! Long time, I know..no hear from! School started out SO busy! I see you've been busy too! I especially like the farm scenes..we go to the local organic farm with my students and they LOVE to try to catch the loose chickens! Take care!
Oh, I don't know how I missed the chickens since I know I saw the pig. I still marvel that you were able to sketch the chickens while they were moving. I loved your story about painting these. :-)
