Monhegan Island Dock - #135 - Original Watercolor Painting

Monhegan Island, lying just off the coast of Maine, allows no cars and has no paved roads. It has the reputation of being a painter's paradise. This is the first Monhegan Island painting I've done, and instead of painting the cottages, I've painted the dock - the views of the sea are beautiful all over the island, and I seem more drawn to the seashore than to the inland island landsdape.

Welsh Sheep Farm - #133 - Original Watercolor Painting

Wales seems to me to be the land of hills and sheep. I've never seen so many beautiful green hills, and white sheep, anywhere else I've been. Here's a typical scene on a Welsh sheep farm.

River Valley - #131 - Original Watercolor Painting

This landscape painting was inspired by a view from an overlook at Dinefwr castle, near Llandeilo, in Carmarthenshire, Wales. The Tywy valley is a beatiful area. The distant hills disappear into the mist.

North Wales Mud Flats - #127 - Original Watercolor Painting

This is a typical waterfront scene in northern Wales. The large amplitude of the tides there causes many of the boat moorings to be mud flats at low tide, so twin keels are very useful in keeping sailboats upright.
