I spent the summer of 2008 studying Plein-air landscape/cityscape painting and drawing in Italy. We spend four (6-8 hour) days a week, painting on location in and around Umbria and Tuscany. It was an amazing and life changing experience for me. I learned to become looser and a little bit more free with watercolor technique. Here is a sampling of my on-location work.

Holy cow, Jen - that's some good stuff! Brings back memories. I love all of them, but that boat on the water may be my favourite.
Hey... they are all for sale! Make me an offer...! ;-)
Thanks!!
Thank you so much for donating a print of "Cat in Butcher Shop Doorway" and of "Black Cat" for the Purr-casso benefit show and sale. Also your donation of the original art of the playful cat is gorgeous!
