Chinese Rose

Watercolor on paper,
7" x 5"

Chinese Rose - Hibiscus.

Hibiscus in the pot makes each house very cosy and warm. "While the flower on this page may be very enticing, you may look out your window, see snow and ice, and wish you were living in south Florida, Hawaii, Singapore or some other tropical area where you could grow tropical hibiscus."

This one White Rose with Pink tones stands out by itself.

This white Tender Rose looks like a young Swan on the lake. Fluffy and sweet, and I hear enchanting music of Tchaikovsky "Swan Lake" from this picture. Do you hear it too?

Gypsy Princess

Watercolor on paper,
4.5" x 6.5"

This picture of 2 Oxblood Red Roses is the focus.

Did you see Gypsy's dance? It is fantastic spectacle. Imagine: It's night and a bonfire crackles in a place amid the glade (meadow), and a gypsy girl dances. These Roses remind me of her charming dance.

My Queen of Beauty

Watercolor on paper,
8.5" x 8.5"

This one Yellow-Pink Rose is the focus of this image.

People compare beautiful women with a blossoming Rose. So much charming and pride in Sheila's Perfume Roses.

Please note the briliant Yellow-Orange in the light, in contrast to the Pink shadows below the upper petals. This Rose has a non-traditional look, and is very unique in it's perfume.

Next time you are buying Roses, remember my Queen of Beauty!

Painting - Not Posting!

Hi,

I know it has been a while since I have made any posts on my blog, but that is quite simple, you see!

I have been taking tips from other painters, searching for excellent examples of painters on the web, in blogs, and so on.

Then - I have been working on incorporating those suggestions and ideas into my own painting skills for the last few months. As I get better and faster at painting, like some of those whom I have discovered, I will be able to paint and post closer together, as in 'real time!'

One of the sources of great inspiration that I have found is from one of the teachers of the Sergei Andriaka Moscow Watercolor School, Kiryanova Viktoria Vladimirovna.

While her Website is just in Russian, I have made a simple link here with the site translated by Google: http://tinyurl.com/VictoriaArtist. Of course - you can use Google Translate to view here other pages if required, or just read in the native language.

I admire her pictures because she can create pictures on a par with some of the worlds greatest past and contemporary artists! When you see her pictures - you feel your are inside the room where the image exists in reality!

The other source of inspiration and information I have spent quite some time learning from and gathering tips and ideas from is the Blog of Jacqueline Gnott. She has been very helpful in answering my emails, and with her help, and a local arts store, I have begun to do more to further improve my craft.

I have been very impressed with both her Quality and Speed of creating and posting new pictures, sometimes almost on a daily basis. As such - she has inspired me to be more committed to developing an eye to both quality, and speed, and there have been a few times I have been able to make a completed painting in just a few days already!
