Daylilies, 9" x 11", Watercolor (SOLD)

Daylilies, 9" x 11", Watercolor. I just completed this painting from a photo I took about a year ago in the back yard of some friends. They have since moved from there so I find this painting sentimental because now it is just a memory. When I see something that I think would be a good painting, I take a photo... just in case. It was nice to see such sunny yellow daylilies on this rainy day. Please enjoy! The price is $300, shipping included. If interested, please contact me. arroyoellie@sbcglobal.net. Thank you, Eleanor( Ellie)

Lilies of Maine, 11" x 14", Watercolor

Lilies of Maine, 11" x 14", Watercolor. This one was most fun to paint, a commission piece for a friend. She brought me a photo of some of their yearly travels to Maine, with this one in mind. Come to think of it, I have two groups of friends that go to Maine on a yearly vacation, and they can't say enough good things about the beauty there. I've painted the Boats of Booth Bay Harbor for the couple who are there right now, and then this one for another dear friend. She knew exactly what she wanted and was very happy with the outcome. Of course I loved the flowers but the chair which was most challenging was probably the most fun. I do love a challenge. Just wanted to show it to you, as I love to do commissions pieces. At one point in this I thought there was a never ending winding around of leaves and vines, but in that confusion I saw beauty. Thank you, Eleanor

Boats of Acapulco, Giclees from Original Watercolor

"Boats of Acapulco", giclees made from original watercolor in sizes medium & large. I painted the original (which is SOLD), from a photo I took with my trusty camera as we bounced around Acapulco, MX, on a rickety tour bus. I recognized it as I describe it to be, a true Kodak moment. The boats were lined up in the most nautically picturesque and natural way. Hard to describe to the fullest, but I quickly slammed the window down, leaning out to get that one perfect shot. The bus driver was speeding around the corner but I just had to try for it. At that moment I knew I had it in the can so to speak. This painting has become the first of my boats, and to date the most popular giclee. The sizes/prices are as follows. 10-1/2" x 14"= $110.00, 14" x 18"= $165.00. If you are interested in ordering a giclee, please email me at, arroyoelliestudios@sbcglobal.net.

The term "giclee print" connotes an elevation in printing technology. Images are generated from high resolution digital scans and printed with archival quality inks onto various substrates including canvas, fine art, and photo-base paper. The giclee printing process provides better color accuracy than other digital processes of reproduction. Thank you very much, Eleanor

Loose Roses, Green, 5" x 7", Watercolor

Loose Roses, Green, 5" x 7", Watercolor. This was a fun and quick, loose painting of roses, one of my favorite subjects. I love roses, bright or pastel, loose or tightly painted. The natural colors found in our California rose gardens are just breath taking. To be able to capture the true beauty of a rose, would be an immense gift which I will forever strive for. I don't want to paint just like a camera though, because why would I? To do it my own way, and in that I can still see them gently swaying in the warm breezes out in the sunlight. I hope you enjoy this. The price is $50.00, shipping included. arroyoelliestudios@sbcglobal.net. Thank you very much, Eleanor
