According to Wikipedia,
“Squidoo is a network of user-generated lenses –single pages that highlights one person’s point of view, recommendations, or expertise.”
According to me, it’s pretty addictive! I’ve really been enjoying surfing it, and I’ve also created a couple of lenses of my own. My most recent lens is: Hanging Artwork and Caring for Your Art Collection. While I’ve blogged some of this information before, I’ve included new content on my lens that I hope will be of interest to art lovers and art collectors. I’ve also just updated my other lens on landscape painting with new content, so check them out! And if you enjoy my lenses, please consider leaving a star rating for them at the top of the screen.

Here is another watercolor/pen and ink sketch of yet another Key West conch house. One day I will paint something else when I’m in Key West! But for now I am stuck on these houses and I always feel that it is better to choose a subject that excites me:

“Southern Welcome”
Watercolor/Pen & Ink on Paper
Image size 6×8″

I am really enjoying these watercolor sketches. I have always sketched and have done little watercolor/pen and inks for a while. But I haven’t shown much until recently because they were really for my own amusement, and, having been so immersed in oil painting these last 12 or so years, I never really considered myself a watercolorist.
At one of our recent openings at the gallery my husband said, “Why don’t you show some of these? They’re neat!” I have learned to listen to him (sometimes, and/or eventually), so I put some out (eventually). To my surprise they got a great response.
So in light of this I added a new section to my website for the sketches. I hope to expand these small, intimate pieces to include other mediums, but for now I am sharing the little watercolors. I will post them here on the blog as a first offering, and then add them to the website gallery page as time permits.

This is a little watercolor sketch of the conch houses that have become one of my favorite subjects when painting down in Key West. To me these little bungalows encapuslate that feeling of a tropical getaway. Many are relatively small simple structures but they are adorned with an abundance of tropical foliage that add shade and splashes of brilliant color. Unfortunately a fixer upper sells for around 1/2 a million dollars, so for now I just satisfy myself with painting them!

It rained last night but by morning we had clear breezy air and bright blue skies. I wasn’t sure what the wind was going to do, so we took care of some errands in the a.m. and then rented bikes to ride around the island. I am afraid I am not a very good biking buddy, because I kept yelling “STOP!” to Dave every 10 feet so that I could take pictures. That is only a slight exaggeration! Finally I couldn’t stand it any more and I went back the room at our guesthouse and gathered up my paints. I left Dave to nap and swim in the pool while I found a nice shady spot with a big wide sidewalk to do a little plein air vignette. The whitewash on the fence and house proved to be a little blinding after staring at it for a while, but I got it down well enough I think. What drew me to this scene was the shadows on the very simple building and of course the vibrant bougainvellia and other tropical flowers and foliage.

This piece measures 6×8″ and is oil on canvas. For more information, please contact me.
