Do you know John Singer Sargent RA’s oil painting “Carnation, Lily, Lily, Rose”, 1885 - 1886. Surely you do, it’s one of this Royal Academician’s most famous works. And this will be my version of it. I love the motive and learned a lot while working on it.

"Have yourself a Merry little Christmas“ is done after an inspirational Christmas challenge „Paint a Festive Scene“ by @alijhargreaves Ali Hargreaves on @supportingallartists SAA

It’s my own interpretation of this cute scenery and I used (as always) pure watercolor and a bit of salt and gouache.

Everyone has oceans to fly if they have the heart to do it. 

Is it reckless? Maybe. But what does dreams know of boundaries?”

SKTCHY ARTSCHOOL watercolor #30faces30days. Still jumping through the challenge. Another painting of Gina’s precious daughter for Day 23, this time painting along with @ginahaweswatercolors herself  and a lot of inspiration from @jennybarnes. So much learned during this portrait challenge, it's so great to see other artists working.

YES!!! Our last challenge for the year with @aligator_watercolor_community is by far my favorite of the year - a Secret Santa where we paint a portrait for one of the other artists in the community.

My muse for Christmas 2022 was Maria Rosario Garrido's @mrosariogarridocasado  lovely granddaughter. It was such a pleasure and joy to paint her.
