This is 4 x 6 done in watercolors and ink at a local beach recently. It is one of the paintings I sent out for the "Warm Weather Exchange" on Wet Canvas. This reached it's new home in Australia where Jacqui is very happy to have it.
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.

I don't blame Jacqui one bit! This is a lovely little painting, Joan. I'd be quite happy to have it or to have painted it myself!
GORGEOUS! GORGEOUS!! What a beautiful job!!!! I LOVE your treatment of the sand and those sea gulls! BRAVA, Joan!
Sherry - Thanks so much!
Lin - I debated between the lighthouse in one direction and the dunes in the other. Guess what won. Thanks!
