A FEW OF MY PLEIN AIR WATERCOLORS FROM MY TRIP TO ITALY

On a recent trip to Italy I painted many watercolors, 20 altogether.   Plein Air painting is a challenge that I love.  Some have been sold, others are available.

Three sketches, pencil sketch , watercolor sketch of Texas State Capitol and incomplete sketch of Congress Ave. cafe.

Sketchcrawl, Jan. 19, 2013 - downtown Austin.  Many PleinAir Austin members and friends gathered on Congress Avenue and nearby spots to sketch.  Weather was beautiful, sunny and fairly warm.  Lots of good sketches to share over lunch at Hickory St. Restaurant.

Waterloo Watercolor Group is currently holding its juried show at the Corridor of Art.  I was pleased and honored to be awarded Best in Show for the 2012 Spring Show for my painting "Lady in Pink".  another painting "Blue Interior with Red" was also juried into the show.
I got Best in Show Fall 2011 and had not expected to win two consecutive awards.
