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!
Lovely job on these! I love the one of Mary and "Sun Ripe" has such great color!
ReplyDeleteThank you Joan!
DeleteAll three are lovely Celia. You are really developing a lovely distinctive style with your paintings and I love the pencil drawing!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the encouraging comment Wendy! It helps to have your feedback! :-)
DeleteYou're getting quite organized Celia! I like your sketch of Mary., it's very good. You're very colorful in your work. Have fun!
ReplyDeleteI'm trying but it is hard to keep up. Thanks for stopping by! :-)
DeleteOkay Celia! You are one rocking artist! So very pleasantly surprised to see the so very beautiful drawing of "Mary!" Of course I love so much about this piece! Great joy "seeing" what you decided not to draw! So very important to leave something for the viewer to complete in art! Bravo!
ReplyDeleteNow, these two watercolors are no surprise! Which is great! Like Wendy mentioned they have so much of your very colorful distinctive style that I am coming to love and maybe even expect!!! Wow! I love the way you use the medium. Fluid! Again the colors are dramatic! Outstanding my art friend!
Keep them coming buddy!
Lover Of Color Michael!

ReplyDeleteLove all the others too.
Thank you Julie! Your words are a wonderful incentive for me!
DeleteFantastic work, Celia. Love the colors in the watercolors--such blues and yellows. And that stripe of red in Sun Ripe makes my heart go zing!
ReplyDeleteYour Madonna is lovely too.
Thanks Laura for such a nice comment!
