I've had a crazy weekend. My MIL was in the hospital and is having surgery today, and in the midst of that I hosted the WDE on WetCanvas. This was done for the WDE from one of my reference photos taken in Venice a few years ago. It is 7 x 10.
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.
