What did you like best about autumn as a child? As well as enjoying the autumn breeze and flying a colorful kite, for me it was and still is collecting autumn treasures such as acorns, chestnuts and fall leaves in all the warm fall colours.
Fresh juicy red strawberries in a green bowl standing on a table are waiting to be eaten as a sweet dessert in this watercolor painting in contemporary square format.
Who can resist a beautiful rose?
In this watercolor painting Perfume of a rose I wanted to capture the beauty of a peachy orange rose blossom and the scent of flowers, fresh fruits and summer feeling. Enjoy!
A beautiful rose in vibrant shades of peachy orange is unfolding her velvety petals. An abstracted summer garden background in bright shades of green is supporting her beauty.
I discovered these lovely little soil-based watercolors by The Art of Soil last week—I love the story behind them, and a soil scientist making soil paints is the epitome of #SciArt is it not?? 😍 Looking forward to trying them out, will report back!
Every spring and summer I enjoy the beautiful bright red poppies that bloom all over the garden and fields. They always find a little place to grow and delight our hearts with their beauty.
It’s been a challenging month, and I haven’t had a lot of success with my gouache painting lately. So I decided to go back to my old style of doodling cats and aliens on black holes with ink and colored pencils, where life makes sense and I know what I’m doing.

Watercolor pencils, ink, mica paint on 6” square cotton paper.
I felt a bit experimental and concept-driven with this #watercolor painting last night, I'm happy with the outcome. I just wish I had access to the rest of my art supplies. Most of them are still in boxes since our move, because we have no space for them yet in our new home. So I'm stuck with the same Daler Rowney paints since last September.
