“Black Forest in the Mist” by Fiona Hind
This image of the “Black Forest in the Mist” is a familiar scene in The Schwarzwald, and a personal favourite. I painted this from a photograph I took in early autumn, while walking around the Schauinsland.
“Green Door, Giverny, France” by Sharon Kurlansky
The green door is the entrance to Monet’s home in Giverny, France. Though my literal destination, figuratively it was destined to be the place of inspiration behind my photographic interpretations, reminiscent of Impressionism.
“Tenby, South Wales” by Matthew Evans
One of my favourite destinations is the beautiful seaside holiday resort of “Tenby” in South Wales. I have tried to portray its beautiful coloured buildings captured with watercolour on paper. Architecture and landscapes are two of my most popular themes.
“Wine for Ashes” by Shiva Jlayer
Your destination is not based on what you did or you didn’t do. If you are burned and turned into ashes, accept the wine and you will find life abundantly.
“Bracebridge Falls, Ontario, Canada” by Wendy Wood
That perfect place where you say to yourself “Aha, this is the spot. This is what I have come to paint.” A melding of artistry and nature.
“Snow Shower on the Town” by Alex Tolstoy
Watercolor: a medium for the curious, the impatient, the impetuous. Snowy scenes can be particularly wonderful to create in watercolor where the white of the paper just glistens with promise…
“San Juan River” by Barbara Haviland
This plein air painting was done when I was in Pagosa Springs, Colorado last September. We spent a week painting in that beautiful town. I am really enjoying getting out and painting on sight. I love the bright colorful scenery and think I have captured it.
“Last Light, Kauai, Hawaii” by Teresa Wilson
The setting sun casts a golden glow over the water and sand on this beach on the north side of Kauai, Hawaii just as it dips below the horizon.
