Morning Stream

 
 Morning  Stream
21cm x 29,5 cm
watercolor on paper 


My husband found a perfect spot for kayaking. Last week I accompanied him, I enjoyed bringing my paints along. I tried to capture the light streaming in from behind. I also wanted to focus on the rocks.  I worked on it some more at home but tried to get down as much information as I could while there. The light moves quicker than I can paint. Great for pushing me to keep my brushwork loose.

My work in progress, my subject and a little visitor wanted to come home with me.

All in all a fun day! 
Thanks for stopping by.

  2. What a lovely fresh painting. Sunlight on the rushing water is so beautiful. I like that we are painting water at the same time.

  10. Really love this Celia. It hits my spot that loves edgy Impressionist art so much. This is very reminiscent of that genre. Great to see.

  14. Bonjour chère amie,

    Une très belle aquarelle... Des verts gourmands semblables à des bonbons acidulés.
    J'aime la présence de cette petite araignée ! Après tout elle fait partie de l'environnement et c'est aussi pourquoi très souvent je les intègre dans mes peintures !
    Bravo l'artiste !

    Gros bisous ❀ ❊ ❀

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!
