I painted this yesterday in plein air at Robert Moses State Park. It is about 3.5 x 5 done in watercolor and ink in my moleskin notebook. It is so nice to have warm weather and be able to sit outdoors again.
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, how beautiful Joan!! This is such a pretty piece! I'd be sorely tempted to cut it out of the moleskin and frame it!!
BEAUTIFULLY done, Joan!! I really love how you handled the sand and foliage!! HAPPY EASTER!!!!
Sherry - Thanks. I've painted this lighthouse so many times already.
Lin - Thank you. I always enjoy going there and painting that lighthouse.
