Yesterday we had about 12 inches of snow. After going for a walk and taking some photos of the snow, I perched myself by my living room window to paint the wonderland outside. This is 4 x 6.
Looks so cold and mightily snowy! LOVE it!!! My sis told me she too had a TON of snow on her upstairs porch ... so much so that she couldn't get out of the door there if she wanted to. Stay warm and safe --- I don't think this 'winter' weather is done with us!
You did a great job on this sketch too Joan --!!! BTW! LOL
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.
