Prince Edward Island (PEI) Watercolor Sketches

Altho the day was gray, I did find a couple of scenes that made for some wonderful digital watercolor sketches!

Birch Stand

I purposefully accentuated the mistiness of the scene with this sketch.  The colors were vibrant, but also muted by the mist that hung in the air at this point.  

Village on PEI

This is one of several villages that we drove thru in the western portion of PEI.  What a charming picturesque place!

Enjoy!

Prince Edward Island Treasures

There were a couple of images that I was lucky enough to capture on our drive around the western portion of Prince Edward Island.  I believe they are worth highlighting on their own.

Birch Stand

I admit I have a weakness for a stand of similar trees.  In this case, they are birch trees.  I love how the tree trunks are mostly parallel.  And, those trees that aren’t, they add some dynamic tension to the image.  The different shades of green are very complimentary with the trees.

Tattered Life

When I saw this doorway to an abandoned house, I had to highlight it in its own image.  I feel like I could make up any number of stories about people who lived there – the state of disrepair, the slight opening of the door, the worn curtains on the door window - each of these can serve as a springboard for tales from the past.

Enjoy!

Note: Each of these is available in a variety of sizes and finishes at http://fineartamerica.com/profiles/nadine-berg.

Cape Breton Trail Watercolor Sketches

There were some wonderful views along the Cape Breton Trail that made for some nice digital watercolor sketches.

Pleasant Bay Wharf

I love the different shades of blue in this scene.  It left me with such a peaceful feeling.

Along the Beach

That’s Jeff walking along the beach at Halibut Head.  I thought it was amazing that there were so few people around.  Just as we got to this area, another couple were leaving, and we didn’t really see another soul while we were there.

Nova Scotia Daisy

Again, along the Halibut Head coast, I noticed some daisies.  They made a lovely little sketch.  Just a happy little snippet of life.

Enjoy!
