Wild Horses, 11" x 14", Watercolor SOLD

"Wild Horses", was a watercolor I really enjoyed painting because of my Montana, summer cowgirl, experiences. My Uncle(Mom's brother) and his family had a big farm just seven miles outside of Valier, not far from Birch Creek. We visited up there in summers, and I loved seeing all the beautiful horses. My cousins with adjoining cattle ranches use to take the "wild horses" up to the base of the Rockies to graze and stay for a season. This is where I got my love of horses, hence this, my first watercolor of horses. This painting was shown at the Western Heritage Museum (Gene Autry Museum) in Los Angeles, where it was recently sold. My cousin knew Gene Autry and I find it a huge honor to have had my little painting end up there. Thank you for viewing my work. Eleanor SOLD

Spring Flowers, 11" x 14", Watercolor, SOLD

"Spring Flowers", 11" x 14", Watercolor. This painting has a long history behind it. I painted it to send via email to a long time dear friend who was terminally ill and in CCU. I painted it from the vision I had in my mind, not from any I had here in my studio. I couldn't send real flowers so this had to be it. They were appreciated and that was what mattered, just to bring a little joy. This past spring I sold it to the Mother of one of my son's former baseball team mates. She's a super gal, someone I've always admired. The story ends happily, and "Spring Flowers" had a good run.. Thank you for coming by to see my work. Eleanor SOLD

Navajo Girl, 8" x 10", Oil on Canvas

Navajo Girl", 10" x 8", Oil on canvas. Although I have been painting in watercolor for a while this was my very first attempt in oil. I like it so much and believe I painted this one straight from my heart. I was going to keep this one forever but in the beginning of 2009 it found a new home. I had giclees made on canvas as well as on watercolor paper. If you are interested in a giclee, please contact me at my studio. arroyoelliestudios@sbcglobal.net, 626 795-2545. Thank you very much, Eleanor

Pink Roses, 12" x 9", Watercolor

"Pink Roses", was easy to set up and paint. I picked the roses from my garden and put them in a vase that I bought from the Scadinavian Festival in Thousand Oaks, CA. I just added the lemon for some warmth. I have good memories of that day. The price of this original painting is $175, shipping included. Please contact me at arroyoelliestudios@sbcglobal.net. Each time I look at these roses I smile. Thank you for viewing my paintings. Eleanor

"Girl with the Hat", 11" x 14", Oil on canvas

"Girl with the Hat", was painted from photos after a day trip to the LA Zoo. Our art class from Art Center College of Design, went there to draw the animals and scenery. I found this gal to be such a fun subject and her hat and sweater made it a challenge. I hope you enjoy this painting and if you are interested please contact me at the studio. arroyoelliestudios@sbcglobal.net. Thank you so much, Eleanor
