Urban Christmas


"Urban Christmas" 11.5x15.5 watercolor on paper


" The perfect Christmas tree? All Christmas trees are perfect!" -- Charles N. Barnard

I never leave the house without my camera, you never know when a moment of inspiration will manifest itself. This funny store front caught my eye back in November. I guess it's a new trend, we are finding all the colors of the rainbow in the artificial Christmas tree  market. This store offered only purple and lavender but I've seen red, gold and silver. It would be fun to get one in evey color! Well, for now I'll keep to my traditional tree.

I am planning to set my paintbrushes aside for a couple of weeks to better enjoy the holidays. One of the gems of the Season is the opportunity to thank my followers for the kind support they always show me. It is the greatest and most appreciated gift.  I wish you a beautiful and most serene Holiday Season!

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!

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.

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!
