"Daffy Daffodils", 5"x 7", Watercolor (SOLD)

"Daffy Daffodils" is a 5" x 7", Watercolor. I painted this from a photo taken in Napa, California. These Daffodils were clustered at the base of a fence at Mayacamas Vineyards. They were standing so cheerful and proud, as daffodils must do. The painting is small but so is the price. The cost of this painting is $50.00 and it will be matted ready for a frame. I love to paint flowers and often settle into pinks but sometimes I need to go the opposite way and get a splash of warm colors. I hope you like "Daffy Daffodils".and if interested, please just contact me. arroyoellie@sbcglobal.net Thank you Ellie

"Antique Cabbage Roses", 9 x 11", Watercolor (SOLD

"Antique Cabbage Roses", 9" x 11", Watercolor. This watercolor painting was inspired by the painting I did a few months ago called, "Solvi's Roses". I generally don't paint something more than once because I would not want to lose spontaneity. I didn't feel that happening so kept painting with pleasure. Each year I look forward to the new fresh blooms in my rose garden and I am never disappointed. The price of this painting is $200 without matting or frame. I will be happy to get those for you at my cost. If you have any questions or comments please contact me at arroyoellie@sbcglobal.net. I hope you enjoyed looking at "Antique Cabbage Roses" Thank you, Ellie

"Crocus", 11" x 15", Watercolor (SOLD)

"Crocus" 11" x 15", Watercolor. I painted this in my studio from a photo taken by some very good friends who live in Gettysburg, PA. This photo in one of a series taken out in their "Cottage Gardens". They love flowers, vegetables and boat scenes and they know I do too. I occasionally paint from photos given to me because this puts a fresh new light on a subject. I normally do my own photography so this lets me see things in a different way. My friends are very special to me and I treasure their pictures too. This painting is SOLD, but there will be more. I do hope you enjoyed looking at it. Thank you, Ellie

Zinnias in the Garden, 9" x 11", Watercolor (SOLD)

"Zinnias in the Garden", 9" x 11", Watercolor. This painting was done several summers ago from gorgeous and bright blooming zinnias in my own yard. I planted and cared for them like there was no tomorrow. Now tomorrow has come and my zinnias this year didn't measure up. This original painting has sold but I am happy I have the print to look at. I have loved zinnias since I was a little girl and my parents gave me some seeds to plant. If any of you would like to have a good quality print I would be happy to sell to you at reasonable prices(2 sizes)They are matted/ready for framing.

Solvi's Roses, 11" x 9", Watercolor (SOLD)

This was a studio painting which I did from a photo. It was sent to me by a dear friend who lives in Drammen, Norway. Both Solvi and the roses are so very beautiful and I wanted to paint and name them in her honor. Of course I am a proud American but my forefather's came from Norway and I never forget that and feel a part of me is always there. I hope you like my way of trying to make watercolor flowers look watery. This was my pleasure to paint. If interested in my "Solvi's Roses". please write me at arroyoellie@sbcglobal.net Thank you, and enjoy! Ellie Eleanor Erickson Hargrave

"French Lace and Eden", 20" x 14-1/2, Watercolor (SOLD)

'French Lace' and "Eden" are two of my favorite Roses, having many favorites. French Lace is blooming now out in front of my picture window. A white rose with peach/cream blush nearing the center. "Eden" is a David Austin English Rose in a cup shape with green around the outer petals. The cup shape just captures me as you can see in the one focal point rose in this painting. This painting is matted in a muted soft green, framed in white Nantucket frame. The outside measurements are 28" x 23". The price was regularly $600 but I have put it down to $300 to move it out and make room for new ones. Maybe a crazy idea but $600 seemed high right now. If interested please email me at arroyoellie@sbcglobal.net. Thank you, Ellie

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

"Delicious", 8"x 8*, Oil on Canvas, was such fun to paint, even though it was an after thought. I painted the "Delicious" one first and then with my leftover paints thought why not? I think I may actually like this one best and the reds are so vibrant and exciting to me. This one is for sale too and I may list it on eBay. If you would like to purchase it just send me an email. arroyoellie@sbcgloba.net Thank you, Ellie
