I enjoyed a week at a plein air workshop in Troo, France,  a picturesque town in the lovely Loire Valley region.  American artist, Tom Hughes, was our instructor- in- residence and we spent many days exploring the region, visiting nearby castles, villages and scenic areas where we would paint.  Interestingly, I was the sole watercolorist.  Our small group stayed the entire week at the lovely Chateau de la Voute in Troo, which was a very special experience in itself!    A painting companion and I spent the following two weeks exploring the countryside in our rental car, painting, and enjoying the good food and scenery of Central France.

Earlier this year I attended local two-day workshop sponsored by Sacramento Fine Arts: "Shape-Shifting - Abstracting the Landscape in Water Media" with California artist, Dale Laitinen.  Good group, good demos and instruction.

I have also created two new 15x22 watercolor and graphite works: 'Sacrament' and 'In Memory Of'. 

I am looking forward to venturing to the east coast.  I will be taking my iPad with me, so more iPad art to be created.
​

Often when traveling, I use my iPad to create my art.  Excellent for ' En plain air'.  So much fun, quick, loose and spontaneous!

I am enjoying painting with watercolors tremendously lately and hope you like the results.

I am happy to post 4 paintings I recently completed.  All are watercolor and graphite on 15"x 22" paper.  Titles from left to right; Prayer Flags, Jazz I, Jazz II and Many Mansions. Simply click on the image for an enlarged view.
