I headed to another arboretum yesterday to paint the westeria before it was gone. I think I should have put more of the hanging wisteria into the painting. This is 7 x 10. Maybe I'll go back and try it 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.

I like it as is, very restful piece. However I can see where you would want more wisteria since that's what you wanted to paint. Ours aren't out yet.
Absolutely beautiful work, Joan. I so wish I could do similar pieces!
i THINK IT'S FABULOUS1!! The house and tree/vine are so well rendered, Joan -- I love it!
Joan, super!!! I am glad you get to paint out. I am sure if you do another one of similar scene, that will be a double joy for me to witness.
Helen - Thanks. I have to do this one again.
Sherry - Thanks so much.
Lin - I wish it were a warmer day today, so I could go redo it. Thanks.
Ai - Thanks. The wisteria will probably just take over the next one completely. lol
This is very beautiful, Joan! Yes.... do more! (he he I'll encourage you!) You have something wonderful here. :)
