Art2love -Watercolor by Jean

I think expressing your emotions through watercolor, is sort of like keeping a journal. Instead of writing in words, you paint in pictures.

I painted these two in the last couple of days. Tired of winter and hoping for spring? Maybe it's just been a hard couple of days, since I'm having another hip replacement surgery in a few days. Maybe it's just not that simple.

yesterday I got inspired and painted this picture. I call it "Happy Holly Day", ©2012.



Of course I can't believe it is the beginning of December and it has been 80º outside for the past couple of days.
I am so happy with my watercolor that I made it my cover page on FB.

The season has changed again and colors have turned from the bright oranges, golds and reds of fall to the darker more somber colors of winter. It seems every time I look out my windows I see something different. It’s not only the seasons, but the times of the day. Winter has made the days shorter and the angle of the sun different as well. I am so entranced with the light and colors that I have to try to copy nature again and again. But she is so much better at it then me. Still I can’t help trying.



Little did I know that within a week, this would all be covered in a white blanket of snow. I just can't keep up with Mother Nature.

Monday we hang a new show at the Gallery and I will show this new painting. I also have three other winter paintings at the Abbotts Grill Restaurant for there new winter show. In a little over a week I will start teaching a six week watercolor class at the Gallery as well. Looks like a busy start to 2011. Happy New Year!
