Hydrangea Final

Here's the final on the Hydrangea painting. I'm calling it "Naomi's Hydrangeas" since she was my mother-in-law, now deceased, and she could grow the most beautiful hydrangeas ever.

Hydrengeas WIP Step 4

Hydrangea - Step 4, WIP
I am loving this one, it's fun to paint, like
a good book it slowly unfolds for me. And like a good book, somehow I will miss working on it when it's done.

Update

I cannot believe I have not posted since March 15! Well, hmmmmm
There are now prints on my site at ebay. http://www.glowing-watercolors-by-cia.com
and I'm selling some of my old art books also. I have read them a million times (well, you know)
so I thought maybe somebody else would love them.

Here's the last two paintings I have there right now. There is a bid on the "Come Hither" one and not much time left.

The other one, and I do not know why there are no bids on this thing, because I think it's one of my best ones, is Confederate Roses.

On another note, I think that I am feeling a lot better finally after my back surgery back in September. More later!

Pretty Peony!

This is my next planned DVD project. These 3 photos are still shots that I'm doing to
put in between the clips in the DVD. Here you go.



Stay Tuned for More!

Big SALE!

There is a huge clearance sale going on at my site - ceciliaantoinette's Store - Art
and I hope you will take advantage of it! Some of the little ones are these: All of these are only 7" x 5" and some bidding starts at only $2.99. I'm trying to stimulate my economy here! I hope you'll go and bid! You will be very happy with the painting when it arrives at your house!

Back from a 3 month absence!

Hello! I took some time off. I cannot say why I did it, it seems that my muse was gone.
But I've done 3 paintings recently, and here they are. First this is a white rose, mostly. A friend of mine allowed me to use her photo reference, and this is how it came out. It's a half sheet.

Next, I did a painting of hollyhocks, by far, my favorite flower, since I have grown them for many years, not including the last 2 years when I've mostly been growing weeds, and helping with a great-grandson during the day.

I'm working on another hollyhocks one, it is proving to be very HARD.
I'll post it when it's done. Cia

Landscapes

I would like to exhibit some other watercolor subjects with this post. There is a link to the page where you can really see them. I'm including some of them here. This first one is a full sheet done of Helen, GA. The gentleman is Charlie, my late husband.

This one is called "Road to Glory". It's not a full sheet, almost. This painting was selected by American Frame as their print of the month for March, 2007.





This is called Old Mill Stream. This painting was featured on the cover of a magazine called "Alabama Living". This is a scene I photographed near here down stream from a dam site where there had been a waterwheel type mill. The mill has since been restored.



Tubing Stream at Helen, GA. I photographed this scene standing on a bridge overlooking the tubing stream. I developed this painting from that photograph.

Yellow Glads

Hi Y'all, this is a painting I've just finished in the last day or so. This one took more time. It's called, simply "Yellow Glads".
