The top and bottom paintings are of areas in Venice proper. The second one is of colorful Burano. Days are passing quickly and my brush is still wet. lol Ciao!
Hi Joan ... Venice seems to agree with you ... I just love your Venice paintings ... I love the strong vivid colours in these last ones ... wonderful work
I am really enjoying another visit to Venice through your paintings. I wasn't drawing/painting during our two long visits there. Maybe it is time to get out my photos! But not as much fun!
Joan, I love them all, esp. the bottom one with people on the bridge. How did you do it? Standing away and paint or do you find a spot to sit and paint? I hope to get to sketch with you side by side one day.
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.

Wow, Joan. So beautiful, truly.
You have done such wonderful images of Venice and surrounds,Joan -- what marvelous memories and paintings! I know you must feel so reluctant to leave!
