I went out plein air painting with the Patchogue Sketch Club on Wednesday evening. The group meets at 6:30 and sketches/paints until the light starts fading. I liked the way the foliage framed the lifeguard chair.
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.
