This was painted in plein air yesterday at Sunken Meadow Park here on Long Island. There is a beautiful marsh area and some egrets if you look carefully. This is 3 1/2 x 10. I think the almost panoram format worked for this.
"Sunken Meadow"...hmmm has possibilities, Sunken Junk, Sunkin, Hunka Junk. Sorry, I was just contemplating stealin/borrowing the "sunken" adjective. I like the painting and am determined to foller you example...
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.
