I'm always driving around looking for something different to paint and this surely was. The brickwork was so unusual that I had to stop the car and pull out my moleskin to paint this. It was done in ink & watercolor.
Desiree - Thanks. Yes, the yellow bushes are forsythia. That was what I was driving around to find in a good spot to paint when I ran across this spot.
Gorgeous, Joan. You do the building details, especially the brick so nice and great perspective. The flowers are also lovely and enhances the structure.
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.
