I almost forgot to post this. It was done at the SBAA sketch meeting with a live model last week. This is 5 x 7. Please come visit Angelina in Venice at http://angelinaslifeinvenice.blogspot.com
seriously? I mean really? Is there anything you can't paint? I think I know that guy... and I promise that face recognition software would pick him up! 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.

You do wc portrait so well. It is great that you can find the real model to sit for you. Keep it rolling.
So well done, Joan! He is a handsome gentleman.
