Sweet Renewal





Sweet Renewal
watercolor on Arches paper
8" x 8" / 20 x 20 cm



 This painting is the second in a four part gift I am preparing. You can see the first one by clicking here.

I painted this set up from life completely except for the macaroons, which  I made up.  I am trying to keep the theme in the four paintings light and airy in color.

  1. Love it! You did a great job on the cup shading and design. The two paintings should look great together. I'll be waiting to see the others in the series.

  2. Bonjour chère Celia,

    Une peinture qui me parle... Un moment précieux que celui de la pause thé que je ne manque jamais. J'aime aussi que celui-ci soit très cérémonial afin d'apprécié au mieux ce délicieux plaisir.
    Toute la douceur de vos nuances de couleurs sont autant de parfums qu'on retrouve dans une tasse de thé.
    La délicatesse dans cette peinture est un beau cadeau... et manifeste votre sensibilité.
    Et puis comment refuser des macarons pour accompagner le thé ?!! sourire.

    Bravo l'artiste !

    Gros bisous

  7. I saw this on facebook and was impressed but seeing it in this format makes it so much more real. It is truly a gem of a painting!

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!

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!

Flying Colors

"Flying Colors" 28.5 x 20cm / 11" x  8"in.  I love the color of this blue jay's feathers and its stance, so graceful ... the various blues were hard to imitate. I am working on leaving more white areas in my painting and loosening up a bit. Thank you to Mim White for allowing me to use her photo! When I saw her photograph, I immediately imagined it as a watercolor painting.
