I braved the elements and walked a bit at Connetquot Park. I sat by one of the bridges near the fish hatchery to pain this. It was colder than I thought, and luckily the car wasn't far away. This is 3 x 5.
This is terrific, Joan .... and though our temps were in the mid 50s, the wind was cold and if you were in the shade -- too cold without a jacket. I can't believe you still have snow on the ground!
Lin - Thanks. I think some of the snow will still be here by July. lol
Sherry - Thank you. It is some little abandoned storage shed.
Tee - Thanks so much. I've thought about the hand warmers, but I don't know if they do anything for my finger tips that are sticking out of my fingerless gloves. 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.

What is that little building, Joan? What a lovely spot to sit and reflect...and paint!
Did this one take you about an hour as well? In this weather? *mental note - send Joan those pocket hand warmer things*
I love looking at your paintings. I see more detail every time I come back to them.
