CLEMENTINE'S

 Clementine Still Life 18cm x 25,5 cm watercolor on paper Available I hope everyone is beginning 2016 well. It is a time of year for renewal and self improvement. I am always hopeful to discover ways of improving and growing as I develop my artwork: more sketching and painting are always on top of my list! My first painting of the year is a clementine still-life. I painted this set up from life. They are presently found in abundance, easy to peel and full of flavor. I have been buying them by the crate load. I find the long leaves elegant and with the right amount of contrast to the bright orange peel.

Happy 2014!!!

DAY 1   Little Darlings watercolor on FABRIANO Artistico paper 12,5 x 18cm/ 5" x 7"  €30,00 unframed I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and New Year! I signed up for Leslie Saeta's 30 paintings in 30 days challenge. It is my second time around, I think it's a great way to begin the year. Last year I signed up the day the challenge started, I am more prepared this year. I don't have a theme, I rather just paint what I enjoy and can create within the short time frame of a day. Additionally, I plan to post my daily work on my Facebook page and my website (which I finally started !). I will blog every few days, showing my progress with a few paintings at once. Last year's first painting was a clementine. I thought it would be fun to see how I have progressed over the year by choosing the same subject.  I thank everyone once more for the support and kindness you show.  I hope this year will be one filled with much color and creativi
