Spring on the Side of the Road

Unfortunately this Robin will not be flying around this spring...I saw it on the side of the road and one of my students picked it up and brought it to the studio...A beautiful bird to spend time with , postcards from Sicily and the white Hyacinth...oil on canvas 18x18"

Taormina Sicily views from our Hotel Villa Carlotta


Mt Etna is visible from  the restaurant on the top floor...it is sending out smoke every day now and sometimes it hides in the clouds...Looking out to the Ionian Sea the landscape is lush and full of wonderful colors...I am very happy to be painting this incredible scenery! Watercolor and gouache 11x14"

Afternoon Sky in Fredricksted USVI

Sitting on the beach there is a long cloud formation that has been hiding the sun...but now the intense light is revealed and all is well...I see so many colors in the water and sky it all becomes abstract movement...a glorious afternoon swimming and then I get to paint! St Croix is as beautiful as ever...Watercolor gouache 11x14"

St Croix Afternoon. Carambola

It took me   a while to figure out how to blog on an iPad.   Here I am in my kind of Paradise..... Water    ...sky ....warm tropical air that smells of the sea...if this painting looks strange that is because it is....sort of abstract....waves rocks all creating interesting colors and shapes....hopefully more to come...watercolor.  11x14".
