While I was visiting Montauk I also did two small pieces in my journal. These are about 3 x 5 done in watercolors and ink. I found that you could access the beach at two different spots and see the lighthouse from the east or the west. This view of the lighthouse is looking west.
Love it! Joan you and I have painted from the same perspective. We arrived at this spot by accident. My husband has a way of getting lost. You have done a wonderful job painting your scenes of Montauk. Well done!
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.
