This is a section of my Christmas tree that I did in watercolors and ink for my Scavenger hunt. I needed something gold (ornament), peace (the dove) and an ornament (my Maine lobster).
Joan, I nearly choked on my cuppa when I saw you had a lobster on your Christmas tree! It made me think of "Love Actually" where the kids school pageant has the nativity scene with the typical shepherds and wise men plus octopi (pusses?) a whale and lobsters! So cute but very weird - three lobsters at the birth of Jesus LOL!
Sue - I'm glad you didn't choke. I have a few unusual ornaments given to me by people who know what I love. That one was from my niece and nephews who live in Maine and know how much I like lobster. I also have a beach chair ornament, and an ornament that is a sealed bag with sand, an umbrella, blanket, and pail.
WONDERFUL!! I love your ornaments!!!! We got about 2" of snow and I hear you're in for quite a storm -- stay safe and warm Joan .. I can't wait to see yoru snow paintings too!
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.
