"Delicious", 8" x 8", Oil on Canvas (SOLD)

"Delicious", 8' x 8", Original Oil Painting on Canvas. Unframed, but painted on sides also. It would look nice to display on a small easel or lean against cookbooks in kitchen. I paint in both watercolor and oil mediums, but this one happens to be in oil. I enjoy both mediums and love to paint in an impressionistic style. Often when I go to the market I look in the produce section to see what catches my eye to paint. This day I spotted these bright red shiny Delicious apples. I do hope you enjoy viewing my painting. Thank you!

Daylilies, 8" x 11", Watercolor (SOLD)

Daylilies, 9" x 11", Original Watercolor. This painting originated when I stood and admired the profuse blooms in the gardens of some dear friends. They were moving and I wanted to capture those flowers in my mind if I could. This is my impressionistic style of what I saw on that day and many days before. Daylilies are a mass of confusion with twigs and leaves going every which way, yet I see so much beauty in those calm yellow blooms. Something about a Daylily brings my mind to a less complicated time maybe decades ago. I remember my Mother, with a smile on her face, turning the soil and planting Daylilies. To me they are happy flowers and I hope you enjoy them too. Thank you, Eleanor

Orange Tulips, 8" x 10", Watercolor (On HOLD)

Orange Tulips, 8" x 10", Watercolor. Painted loosely using lots of water in an impressionistic style. I painted this and the companion painting from life, as well as back up from a photo I took. It was a clear and slightly windy day when I went shopping with some gals up in Northern, Cali.. The tulips were prolific in beautiful large barrels in a picturesque and quaint shopping area. Forget the shopping I was captivated by the sight of these tulips. Staying outside with my camera, paper and pencil. I penciled the tulips in and painted shortly after. If interested please contact me at arroyoellie@sbcglobal.net Thanks, Eleanor (Ellie)

A Rose is a Rose, 9" x 12", Watercolor (SOLD)

A Rose is a Rose, was inspired by my memory of how wonderful my roses looked last year. My garden had so many gorgeous blooms that I was able to have vases full of them throughout the house, sharing with friends. I cultivated, pruned, fed, watered and tended them, not in that exact order. I took many photos for which I am so thankful. On some beautiful weather days I sat out in my yard painting them. I enjoyed that more than I can express. Oh sigh..this year is different and I have neglected them terribly. Every day I wonder when I feel better after chemo and radiation if my roses will forgive me for this years neglect. Will they ever bloom again as they did in years past? I hope both the roses and I will heal together and play catch up...soon. I hope you enjoy my impressionistic style of painting the rose. Thank you, Ellie Painting is available.

Myrtle Creek Nursery, by Eleanor Erickson Hargrave (Giclees Available)

Myrtle Creek Nursery, 18"x 18", Giclee on Canvas from my own Original Oil Painting. A few years ago I visited and took many photos at the Myrtle Creek Nursery in Fallbrook, CA. The bedding flowers were cascading from the colorful flats out in the sunshine. So beautiful was the color and the free form setting that only nature can provide. when I first saw these flowers I knew I had to paint them. I paint in a contemporary impressionistic style. The original oil painting was 16" x 20" and sold to a lovely couple in Tennessee. Luckily I had it digitally scanned by a professional and have made giclees. This is a square portion of the painting because I do love square oils of flowers in particular. I do have the entire 16" x 20" giclee available also. If interested, please contact me at arroyoellie@sbcglobal.net. I also painted these same flowers in watercolor which is now available. Thanks, and enjoy, Ellie
