Here are two of the paintings I've done here in Venice. The top one is of a typical scene along the canals, and the second one is of a restaurant on the island of Murano, where the Murano glass comes from.
FANTASTIC!!!! I never made it to Murano while I was there -- and so I'm just going to have to return!! GREAT job, Joan -- what a book-filled with beautiful work and awesome memories!
Muy bonitas las acuarelas. Me gusta visitar blogs de pintores y he llegado al tuyo de lo que me alegro. He pasado un buen rato. Mis felicitaciones. Victoria.
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.
