This is about 3 x4 and was painted the other evening when I met with the Patchogue Sketch Club at the Maritime Museum in Sayville. I had to work fast to capture this before it got dark.
aBSOLUTELY GLORIOUS! I SO LOVE HOW YOU PAINT THESE, JOAN -- FROM THE SUBTLE GOLDS AND GREENS IN THE BACKGROUND TO THE RICH FOLIAGE IN THE FOREGROUND! BRAVA!
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.

Just lovely. It feels like you've captured the image just as the sun was about to set. I really like this.
PS: My aunt and uncle used to live in Sayville and I spend many summer weekends out there.
