Lake Lucerne Sailing - #112 - Original Watercolor Painting

Lucerne, Switzerland is a fairy-tale town, and Lake Lucerne is absolutely gorgeous. It is surrounded by mountains, and has a seemingly infinite number of coves and harbors. I saw this sailboat on Lake Lucerne, its white sail making a stark contrast with the nearby mountain foliage, with a mountain further back fading into the mist.

White Ibis - #111 - Original Watercolor Painting

I saw these strange-looking birds at the edge of a small lake in Naples Florida. This is my second painting of them. This one changes the background to a different setting - a bright tropical forest. It makes the wiite birds really stand out.

Porta Nigra - #110 - Original Watercolor Painting

Trier, on the Mosel river, is the oldest city in Germany. Porta Nigra is the remnant of its Roman city gate, built before 200 AD. It has its present name due to the darkened color of its sandstone. It opens upon a large pedestrian area in the center of Trier. The day I was there it was dreary and rainy.

Peggy's Point Lighthouse - #109 - Original Watercolor Painting

Peggy's Point Lighthouse sits atop a granite outcrop at Peggy's Cove in Nova Scotia. It's an octagonal structure, operated by the Canadian coast guard. Yes, the structure at the top is really that red!
