Collage of my work





I have taken up a 30 day marketing challenge hosted by Leslie Saeta. She is a marketer turned artist, offering daily ideas on marketing artwork. She has some great suggestions, one is to  create a collage that features your paintings. I used PikMonkey for mine or you can also use iPiccy.

These are some of my favorite paintings, I think they do show an array of subject matter. I don't like to stick to just still life’s or portraits but am interested in light and color, showing the joy intrinsic of simple moments and objects. I'm not after ground breaking ideas, I just love the process of painting and illustrating the world around me. I am representational but do not strive for photo realism. I admire people who achieve it but would never have the patience for it.

 Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog!

    Dear Celia - I love your art and I too appreciate those who can achieve photo realism but like you I do not have the patience either. Guess one just should always paint from the heart. I think your work shows that is what you do and in the end for me that is what I love to see. Have a great day.

It's Not Just For Guacamole

It's Not Just for Guacamole watercolor on paper 35.5x51cm.  I hope everyone's New Year is off to a great start! I started this painting last year and set it aside for a while.  I worked from a cell phone image I took while preparing breakfast. My work as it progressed, below... My favorite way to eat avocado is on toast with a poached egg, I sketched it after Christmas. It keeps me full until lunch time.

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!

Parsley

Parsley watercolor on Garza Papel paper 20x14 cm. 300 grs Parsley is my favorite herb, I always keep a pot close to my kitchen. It is an interesting subject to improve leaf painting skills. I did minimal prelimanary drawing to keep the painting spontaneous. I focused on layering the shapes and observing the fresh colors in front of me.  I found parsley leaves fun to paint and instrumental in gaining more awareness and control when painting leaves! working from life is always my favorite! finding the right mix of color I can't believe this is my 100th post. Thanks for stopping by!
