I spent last week in Maine visiting and painting with my two sisters. This is 5 x 7 and was done in plein air at Ocean Point near Boothbay Harbor, Maine. It is a beautiful spot, despite the excessive heat we had while we were there.
Joan -- this is such an incredibly beautiful painting! MAINE at its finest! It looks so crisp and cool and inviting ... WONDERFUL job -- it looks like you had a great time too! WELCOME back!
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.

Thanks, Lin. Unfortunately while we were there it was super hot and humid...not the best for plein air painting. LOL
Oh to have sisters to paint with. This is a beautiful watercolour, Joan. I love imagining you all out there, together.
