This was done for the WDE on WetCanvas from a reference by "skappy." Robert had this poor boy and his friends with their heads inside a hippo's mouth...a hippo statue of course. I cropped it a bit. This is 4 x 4.
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.

Beautiful portrait, Joan. Somehow you've captured a spark of delight, joy, and maybe a wee bit of mischief in this little man's eyes!
It is such a sensitive portrait, beautifully done. Eileen
