Cherry Blossoms, 8" x 8". Watercolor (SOLD)


"Cherry Blossoms", 8" x 8", Original Watercolor. This watercolor was painted from the heart as all of mine are. I love the Cherry Tree with the blossoms that are profuse, even if for too short of a time. So delicate and cheerful they cling to the branch until a strong wind or rain. I love what my parents told me about the cherry tree and honesty. Whether it was just my naivety or my faith of a better world, I have always tried to live that way. The painting has a watery look about it that I strive for in my watercolors, almost a stained glass effect. I decided to make note cards and the size of those are 4.25" x 5.50" with reasonable pricing. The original watercolor is also for sale with the price at $275 with custom matting. If interested in either, please contact me at arroyoellie@sbcglobal.net. Thank you very much, Ellie

Pink Tulips, 10" x 10", Watercolor (SOLD)


Pink Tulips, 10" x 10", Watercolor. (SOLD) This tulip painting is so feminine and delicate, almost looking the color of strawberry ice cream. I love tulips anyway but the color of these reminded me of my daughters. My oldest daughter loved tulips so much, and my two younger ones looked yummy in this shade of pink. My son use to call the girls "girly powders", so I won't tell you that he looked good in this color too..(but he did, or shall I say he would have). I hope you enjoyed looking at this and all the other artists paintings. I will be back soon with another so come back often. Thanks, Ellie
