African Violets

African violets sketchbook page I painted this sketch slowly, over a few day's time. I use my sketchbook to experiment towards improving my skills although I seem to always find myself in a hurry to finish the sketches. It took my African Violets over two years to bloom, I felt compelled to capture this achievement! The flu is making the rounds around my household once more, I hope everyone else is well!

Happy 2015!!

Clementine watercolor on paper 20x14 cm. I am very excited to start off the new year because of the opportunity to focus on what lies ahead. My goals for the coming months include many positive wishes! I have written out a physical list for the first time in my sketchbook to be able to draw a balance at the end. My first painting of the year is a clementine. The contrasting colors and the long shapes of the leaves are always fun to paint; the fruit's taste is definitively delicious and brightens the dreary winter. I wish all of you a joyful, creative year! Happy 2015!

Pansies

Pansies with Lemon watercolor on cold pressed Daler Rowney paper 10" x 10" / 25 x 25 cm. Available I wished to paint the happy faces of the pansies I planted earlier in the fall. They are hardy plants, lasting through the winter on my balcony. Soon I will have to pull them out and replace them with petunias or begonias, but not for another month. I love the different shades of purple and had fun mixing my own. I hope everyone is having a nice week!
