These 3 paintings were done of the same area in Key West off Mallory Square. The one with the houses is Sunset Key which I promised myself we would visit on our next trip down. It is such a great spot and the water color is just wonderful.
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.
