Yesterday I met my friend, Gina at the Maritime Museum grounds in Sayville. The views across the marsh are what I planned for my painting for Paint the Great South Bay. I brought along a rectangular watercolor paper to do more of a panoramic view. I stood out on the dock that is closest to the marsh, but Gina focused on one of the maritime buildings for her pastel. She took a photo of me working out on the dock. You can see me there facing the marsh.
Here is my painting at the beginning stages.
And here it is a little while later.
Here is the finished painting.
I think I mentioned the other day that I was interviewed for an article that was going into our biggest Long Island newspaper, Newsday about the Paint the Great South Bay event. The article was in the paper yesterday! I don't know if you can enlarge the words enough to read them, but I am quoted.
An excellent watercolor Joan!!! Congratulations on the article ......my husband showed me the article and I was so surprised when I saw you!!! You looked wonderful and a great story!!!!
