"Watching the Grass Grow" watercolor on paper 25 x 18cm. |
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!
J'aime l'originalité du sujet, sa fraîcheur et sa spontanéité.

Merci Olivier!!
DeleteWonderful to say the least Celia it great to catch up with you art. Some wonderful loose painting to feast my eyes on
ReplyDeleteI'm happy you have defined my painting as "loose", I am striving for that! Thank you Paul!
Deleteand a great entry it will make to the challenge Celia
ReplyDeleteYes Celia, grass and some color... just what the doctor ordered. LOL !
ReplyDeleteThank you Barbra!
DeleteYou captured the outdoors beautifully!!! I like how you did the grass as well as the Queen Anne's Lace. Very nice!
ReplyDeleteI liked the white areas of the Queen Anne's Lace, I'm happy you agree Joan!
DeleteThis is really lovely Celia. You've captured so much light and a wonderful variety of greens. It will make a great entrant into the grass challenge.
ReplyDeleteThank you Wendy, it is nice to have your encouragement!
DeleteLove the colours Celia! While you have been painting the grasses, I have been weeding them out of my flower beds before the rains set in and thus more growth!
ReplyDeleteThank you Laura! It is a lot of work but you have a beautiful garden!
DeleteIt would be so easy to paint grass in a lot of boring green colors, but you put in a lot of warm yellows and contrasts that make this an awesome grass painting ! Wish you a nice weekend. xx
ReplyDeleteThank you for a great comment Jane!
DeleteA beautiful painting, Celia!
ReplyDeleteSuch fine details! It's a lovely painting Celia. I may send my next aquarella to Daily Paintwork Challenge, if I can manage grass and find a few minutes to post it. I'm so busy! Well, you know how it is. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for the positive feedback! I think it would be beautiful to see your interpretation Helen!
DeleteDear Celia - lovely and I like the title too...did I happen to see a bit of Queen Anne's Lace mingled in with that tall grass? Hope you have a great week-end.
ReplyDeleteI'm happy you recognize the Queen Anne's Lace, it's my focal point but hard to paint plein air. Thanks for your nice comment Debbie!
