It's Not Just For Guacamole


It's Not Just for Guacamole
watercolor on paper
35.5x51cm. 

I hope everyone's New Year is off to a great start!

I started this painting last year and set it aside for a while.  I worked from a cell phone image I took while preparing breakfast.

My work as it progressed, below...





My favorite way to eat avocado is on toast with a poached egg, I sketched it after Christmas. It keeps me full until lunch time.

      Thank you , Jane! I recommend it, but squeeze some lime on the avocado. It makes it taste better.

    I find that avocado pit so interesting and so well done. Beautiful colors in the flesh of the avocado. Great job!!! I could reach in there and take a bite.

    Dear Celia - this is a lovely work of art. Your avocado certainly looks good enough to eat. With an egg hmm! May have to try this one. I love fresh homegrown tomatoes with scrambled eggs so maybe I would like this combo as well. There is such a sense of accomplishment when one finishes a painting that may have been sitting around waiting for it to be done. I have one in my studio that is calling me to complete it. Perhaps soon. Hugs!

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!
