I can just about feel the wind on my face and smell the salty fishyness of the water... aaaahhhhhh! Wait! A gull just flew over! Great little painting!
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.

AWESOME!!! Joan, I really love how you've done the ink here -- just enough to show the dark tones -- wonderful wonderful wonderful!
Beautiful. It looks like it could be my beach. I like the combination of ink and watercolor and you've used just enough ink
Lin - Thanks so much!! I can't go to the beach without my pen and wcs any more!
Helen - Thank you! Glad to hear that your beach looks similar.

What a pleasure to get to see this plein air.
You have such a lovely touch with these dune paintings, Joan. This is a beauty.
Love this scene - makes me think of being at the beach as a kid and hiding in the dunes.
