Brighton Pier - #72 - Original Watercolor Painting

On my recent trip to England I spent a week in Brighton.   From my flat, I could walk to most of the interesting places - the lanes, the theater, the royal pavilion, a zillion restaurants, and of course the famous Brighton Pier.  It's a long way out to the end!

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.

A Light Breeze - #64 - Original Watercolor Painting

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
