Autumn on the Farm
watercolor on paper
30 x 23 cm
This was painted as part of the October "All media challenge" for the Artist Daily Friends group I belong to on Facebook. I was attracted by this photo (kindly provided by Karen Duncan) because it brought me back to my childhood, to the long car rides to view the autumn foliage. It seems sights like this are quickly disappearing to make room for strip malls and housing developments.
Thank you as always for taking the time to visit my blog!
Superbe, chère Celia !
ReplyDeleteBises :)

Thank you for the kind words of encouragement!! xx
DeleteLove your rich colours in your scene Celia, good luck too with your commercial products xx
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Lorraine!
DeleteWow - these colors really speak to me. Fall is such a dramatic time. Your fence and growth in front of it are handled so perfectly resulting in everything I love about watercolor.
ReplyDeleteIt was difficult because I didn't mask off my white areas, something I am working on. Thank you so much Julie!!
DeleteI like this wide and colorful autumn landscape, you really get the feeling of distance, beautifully painted. And congrats on the VIDA involvement, so interesting !
ReplyDeleteThank you Jane! I had a lot of fun building the layers, I appreciate your feedback!! :-)
DeleteLike those brilliant colors, and the painting itself, it is really beautiful. Congrats with your VIDA involvement.
ReplyDeleteThank you Cora!!
DeleteCelia this painting could have been done in my area. It is lovely. Congratulations on your new business endeavor. I am sure this will be quite successful for you. Have a blessed day.
ReplyDeleteYou are so very kind Debbie!! Thank you for the wonderful compliment!
DeleteHug!
Love the painting of the farm view. When I saw it on FB I thought to myself...this isn't Italy. lol Great colors and sense of distance. Good job!
ReplyDeleteHi Joan, no it is surely not Italy! But take away the barn and it could be, the distant mountains look like central Italy. Thank you for stopping by!
DeleteThis is a lovely scene Celia - awful to think that this type of landscape is disappearing!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on getting your designs with Vida! Looks like a very interesting enterprise!
Just catching up Celia. Really pleased for you about Vida. Some great ideas for Christmas presents maybe. Your landscape reminds me of red barns and mountains I encountered in Canada a few years ago. Not enough people in those areas for shopping malls luckily. Great interpretation of the landscape.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your support and kind comment, Laura!
DeleteFall is such a great season! You've managed to capture an exciting scene. Bravo for your designs with Vida , I wish you luck! Hugs Celia
ReplyDeleteThank you Helen!!
DeleteGreat watercolour, Celia, your use of colour is fabulous! Love the Vida ideas!
ReplyDeleteThank you Judy, I appreciate your visit and support!!
DeleteAutumn On Farm is a delightful reminder of life in a rural landscape. Much like my beautiful Creston Valley. Vida sounds like a wonderful enterprise to be involved in......congratulations Celia! Hugs, Laura
ReplyDeleteA wonderful compliment, you are very fortunate to live in a beautiful part of the world!! Thank you for your visit!
Deletehi Celia,
ReplyDeletebeautiful farm watercolour painting; it reminds me of the bucholic landscapes I passed during my drive to Vermont 2 weeks ago. I like your loose technique and fresh lively colour. The Vida products seem a good fit for your watercolour, what a good idea:)
Thank you Sally!
