These last paintings are all about fruits. Fruits are one of my favorite subjects to paint. The possibilities are as limitless as there are fruits! I love to play with the shapes, colors and shadows to create different compositional ideas.

I apologize about bunching them all up in one post. I have not had much time to devote to the computer this week.


(day 19)
"Sunday Sketch"
graphite on paper

I've also included my "Sunday sketch" from my Michelangelo book. I just opened up a page in the book and drew the first thing I saw. I realized I was spending at least a good half hour just trying to figure out what to draw!



This is the last week of the challenge! I can't quit now.

I hope everyone is well! Thank you for stopping by!


I am selling all my 30 in 30 paintings from 2014 for €30 each (shipping included!). For any interest, please follow this link.

    I'd say that's a good weeks work! Your loose color blending is a thing of beauty.
    Beautiful work. And yes, freezing here in Philly also with sub zero wind chills.

    Good morning Celia, you have done so well with your paintings, I love your style and your fruit paintings are wonderful, colorful and cheery!

    Love the colors in these! I can't believe that the month of painting is nearly over. The fruits are great, especially the one of the kiwi and the apples bunched together. I don't mind seeing a few at a time. It is like a feast for the eyes.

    It's a feast! Your colors are bright and beautiful, and I like your washes, the way they overlap but don't disappear into each other ...
    Love the expression on the sketch!

    Ah Celia you have such a way with fruit. I am a great fan of kiwi and yours looks good enough to eat. Looks like you are going to make it friend and all your work is fabulous. Take care and have a great week-end.

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!

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!

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!
