PAINTINGS

This piece was inspired from a walk in the woods. I collected some branches and photographed them. I ended up with some neat photos for future paintings.   This one is called Whispers in the Wind. It is 11" x 5" and it is completed in watercolour. Enjoy. 





 Abstraction


I am currently working on some contemporary/ abstract pieces of art. I am working in acrylic and I enjoy this process. I am having so much fun.  Plans get lost in the process and the painting takes on a life of its own. I hope the gallery likes them.









 Getting ready for our new exhibition on Sunday, October 5 at the Hampton Inn.  Here's one of my pieces that will be in the show.














Joan Roberts is a full-time visual artist who lives in St. John's. She paints in several mediums and enjoys painting many subjects to capture and challenge her diversified interest in her surroundings.
