When the snow falls early, the fresh, cold air stings, and the autumn leaves that are still on the trees make for a clear, colorful entry into winter.

Bass Harbor Light - #67 - Original Watercolor Painting

I was in Maine last summer, and enjoyed the beautiful scenery there - especially the waterfront areas. Bass Harbor Light is located near Acadia National Park, and sits on a picturesque bluff overlooking the sea. It makes a great painting subject.

Kauai North Shore - #66 - Original Watercolor Painting

The weather was changeable this day in Kauai. On the north side of the island, the skies were a combination of clouds and sun. The trees ringing the beach cast dark shadows on the sand, producing a rather dramatic scene.

Honfleur Refuge - #65 - Original Watercolor Painting

Here is a different view of the old port at Honfleur in Normandy, France.  This picturesque town is an artist's dream.  Honfleur is located at the mouth of the Seine River, on the south bank.  I greatly enjoyed visiting there, as well as painting several views of this beautiful harbor.

A Light Breeze - #64 - Original Watercolor Painting

Here's another painting of an old sailing ship - I really love these boats - trying to make headway on a calm day with only a light breeze. The sails in the painting were suggested by scraping the wet paint in the sky and water.

Above the Falls - #62 - Original Watercolor Painting

Covered bridges attract me - they speak of older days, when a single lane, narrow bridge was not problem, and good workmanship was taken for granted.  This is a composite of several covered bridges that I've seen and photographed.

Biding Time - #58 - Original Watercolor Painting

Here's a beautiful sailboat I happened upon during a recent trip to Nova Scotia, a beautiful region for sailing. I got the feeling that this sailboat was just biding its time waiting for its crew to sail it away to adventure.

Day's End - #57 - Original Watercolor Painting

In this painting, the focus is on a beautiful early evening sunset. The boatmen are pulling their boats up onto shore to keep them safe overnight. This painting was born and developed in my imagination.

Country Church - #56 - Original Watercolor Painting

This is a painting of a country church in Normandy, France. I love the texture in the old walls and the green field and dark trees which frame the buildings. I saw this church from the window of a coach on a highway, and knew it would make a great subject.

The Old Guard - Step-By-Step Demo

I've just posted a step-by-step demo of how I painted #54, The Old Guard, on my Watercolors by Jim Oberst Blog.  This is step 1 - a simple drawing.  Visit the other blog to see it all.  Enjoy!

The Old Guard - #54 - Original Watercolor Painting

This painting was inspired by some seascapes that I love by two other artists. I decided to teach myself to draw these old ships, and to place them in picturesque settings. I hope to do a series of this sort of painting.

Red Rock Wash - #53 - Original Watercolor Painting

This painting is based on an area I explored in Sedona, Arizona. These "washes", or dry river beds, in the desert areas out west are bone dry most of the year, but can quickly fill with water during a rainstorm. This one had the red earth color typical of the Sedona area.
