Why “World Travel Sketches” on a marine website?   Fair question!  The fact is that we all need a change of pace from time to time.  Much of my painting consists of detailed easel painting. 

For a refreshing change, I greatly enjoy doing little seven-inch by ten-inch watercolor sketches wherever I travel, near or far.  I carry a small watercolor set of pan colors with a few brushes small enough to fit in my pocket.  I usually finish these little paintings in one or two hours, and treasure them as my memory of a time and place.  I include some of them here for your enjoyment.
