PLEIN AIR PAINTING

CLOUDS AND SEA
watercolor on paper
29cm X 21cm

I had the oppurtunity to paint plein air at the beach this weekend. I know many people speak about art for its therapeutic effect. Now that the summer crowds have left, I really felt that way.

Thank you for the visit!

    Beautiful feeling of contentment and peace. I love our beaches in winter. You captured that feeling here.

    You really did a great job with distance and the clouds really are floating in the sky... perfect.
    I agree about the beach being totally different when it is more or less empty. I love it when it is drizzling. No one ever there and very atmospheric.

      I've also grown to not enjoy sitting in the sun, I prefer it. Thank you so much Julie!

    My eyes are immediately drawn to those beautiful floating clouds and the depth in this work, must have been wonderful to stand there painting on a beach void of people.

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!

Flying Colors

"Flying Colors" 28.5 x 20cm / 11" x  8"in.  I love the color of this blue jay's feathers and its stance, so graceful ... the various blues were hard to imitate. I am working on leaving more white areas in my painting and loosening up a bit. Thank you to Mim White for allowing me to use her photo! When I saw her photograph, I immediately imagined it as a watercolor painting.

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!
