Sweet Renewal





Sweet Renewal
watercolor on Arches paper
8" x 8" / 20 x 20 cm



 This painting is the second in a four part gift I am preparing. You can see the first one by clicking here.

I painted this set up from life completely except for the macaroons, which  I made up.  I am trying to keep the theme in the four paintings light and airy in color.

    Love it! You did a great job on the cup shading and design. The two paintings should look great together. I'll be waiting to see the others in the series.

    Bonjour chère Celia,

    Une peinture qui me parle... Un moment précieux que celui de la pause thé que je ne manque jamais. J'aime aussi que celui-ci soit très cérémonial afin d'apprécié au mieux ce délicieux plaisir.
    Toute la douceur de vos nuances de couleurs sont autant de parfums qu'on retrouve dans une tasse de thé.
    La délicatesse dans cette peinture est un beau cadeau... et manifeste votre sensibilité.
    Et puis comment refuser des macarons pour accompagner le thé ?!! sourire.

    Bravo l'artiste !

    Gros bisous

    Gorgeous Celia. I love the light touch. So fresh. Your choice of colors for the macaroons is just perfect. Hope you will share the other two when you are finished. Hugs!

    I saw this on facebook and was impressed but seeing it in this format makes it so much more real. It is truly a gem of a 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!

Parsley

Parsley watercolor on Garza Papel paper 20x14 cm. 300 grs Parsley is my favorite herb, I always keep a pot close to my kitchen. It is an interesting subject to improve leaf painting skills. I did minimal prelimanary drawing to keep the painting spontaneous. I focused on layering the shapes and observing the fresh colors in front of me.  I found parsley leaves fun to paint and instrumental in gaining more awareness and control when painting leaves! working from life is always my favorite! finding the right mix of color I can't believe this is my 100th post. Thanks for stopping by!

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!
