This is 4 x 6 and was done in watercolors and ink from a reference photo by "123harry" on WetCanvas for the WDE he hosted over the weekend. I'm glad I'm able to see the images on here today.
I've been so wrapped up in Warner that I've neglected my favorite blogs. I had to go back and look at the whole month. I love the ink and watercolors; I have no idea why but really liked the motorcycle... I'm not a biker.
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.
