From Georgetown to the Cathedral
by Jane McElvany Coonce

It's been a while since I've blogged. I apologize. No excuses, but I have been painting quite a bit getting ready for several upcoming shows. One of them is this Friday at Gallery Clarendon. The painting in the photo above is a large watercolor painting of Washington, DC. It has Georgetown and Key Bridge in the foreground with the Washington Cathedral in the distance. It's the largest watercolor I have ever done ( a full sheet) and I have to say it was quite intimidating. I've done large oils before, and I don't bat an eye at the prospect. But something about watercolor...what if I get 80% done and I screw it up? All kinds of crazy thought go through one's head. Anyway, I finally finished it, and this is the first show that it's been in. Everyone is invited; bring your friends , bring your family. It's from 5 to 8 pm this Friday at Gallery Clarendon, 2800 Clarendon Blvd, Arlington, VA. We are located at the corner of Fillmore St and Clarendon Blvd. Look for the red awning on the corner. I might be up on the 2nd floor pouring wine, so come and look for me. I'll be there. We are having spring-like temperatures so come out and take advantage of some warm weather in February.
