This is the second painting I did this month for the Virtual Paintout in Corsica. (http://virtualpaintout.blogspot.com) It is 7 x 10 done with transparent watercolors.
I LOVE these types of cafes, Joan -- and your painting has truly accentuated the charm and beauty of them!! Gorgeous! We have 6" of snow and sleet falling .. no cafe today!
Hi Joan, You wouldn't believe it. I printed out three photos to paint and chose one. This was one that I didn't choose - too difficult. You've done a great job. I'm sure it must have been a challenge.
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.

Oh to be enjoying tea at this little gem of a place on the patio...those climbing flowering vines are gorgeous too!

I like both of your views of Corsica, but this one was painted with such glowing energy--it's my favorite.
Hi Joan, it's lovely. I joined WC and there is so much to see, and digest. You did a wonderful job on this painting. Well done.
I found this little cafe too and almost did it for my Corsica picture. Such an unusual location for a building!
Hi!
Great painting,
I found this restaurant too, like "artybecca" and like her I loved and almost painted it.
Congratulations for your work.

Sherry - Tahnks. Cafe & crossants!!!
Lin - Thanks. I hope the snow and sleet at least looks good!
Joan - Thanks. I've been a WC member for a few years and still there are parts of WC that I haven't seen. lol
Artybecca - Thanks for coming from the VPO to view my blog and comment. Funny how you almost did the same scene.
Murilo - Thank you. I will have to go see what you posted instead of this view.
