FALL HARVEST




 Fall Harvest
watercolor on paper
30.5 × 23 cm 

The rich vibrant colors of the season inspired me to paint this still life set up. I am unifying the objects by using similar colors, trying to work them together as a whole.

  4. Hi Celia, I am just catching up on your blog and love what you have been doing. I love these autumn colours!
    I was so impressed to see you have been out and about sketching on location and I particularly loved your coffee cup and croissant. You were very persistent to then go on to sketch some street scenes. I wish I could join you over there to sketch in Rome - how amazing that would be! I hadn't thought how it must be hard to find a quiet unobtrusive spot to set up to sketch though - it must be quite a challenge in such a busy city. I hope you continue with it. I am trying to revive my sketching habit as it seems to have waned a little since the addictive phase I went through a while back.

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!
