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!

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!
