This was painted last Wednesday when I met with the Patchogue Sketch Club. The gazebo is in a small park in Brookhaven. It also has a pond that I plan to go back and paint. This is 3 1/2 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.

Lovely gazebo. I like how you captured the orange flowers encircling it.
You're going to Venice? (Read it on Beth's blog) So jealous. Can't wait to see your paintings and sketches from there! Enjoy your trip.
