I headed back to Connetquot State Park yesterday to paint. I drove in by the fish hatchery and there was a man out in the snow fly fishing! I started to put him into the painting but he walked out of sight too quickly. This is 3 x 5.
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.

Still snow on the ground? Wonderful wonderful painting, Joan! I so admire your venturing out each day to bring us such magic!
Another beauty here, Joan. I love when you capture the realistic deadfalls in the trees too.
Lin - Thanks. There is still snow on the ground, but the rain has washed a lot of it away.
Sherry - Thanks. I'm always attracted to the fallen trees.
