Persson's Nursery, 10" x 12", Watercolor (Sold)

Persson's Nursery, 10" x 12", Watercolor. This painting was from a photo I took at Persson's Nursery, Pasadena, CA. I went there to admire and take photos of the beautiful flowers. The long tables were covered with bursts of cascading flowers. The colors were just amazing and the excitement of both the warm and cool colors was breathtaking. On this day I tried to paint loose, which isn't as easy as it looks. My favorite season in the year is spring, and it's no doubt because of the profusion of color, and new growth. This painting is $200,/free shipping, with a custom mat. If interested, please contact me at arroyoellie@sbcglobal.net. Feel free to view all my current paintings. Thank you, Eleanor

Cactus Flowers, 15" x 20", Watercolor (Available) Showing at Pepe's Restaurant, Montrose

Cactus Flowers, 15" x 20", Watercolor (matted and framed in white, Nantucket Style)
This painting was done from a photo taken by a good friend I've known since highschool. I love the vibrant colors and it was loads of fun to paint. This large painting makes quite a colorful statement and would add to most any decor. There is something about these flowers that give the viewer a soft watery illusion, which is something I strive for. This illusion is heightened under the glass which isn't shown here. If you are interested in this painting, please contact me at arroyoellie@sbcglobal.net. I hope you enjoy. Thanks, Eleanor

Rain over the San Gabriels, 10" x 10", Watercolor (SOLD)

Rain over the San Gabriels, 10" x 10", Watercolor. This painting was inspired by a lifetime of enjoying the view of these mountains which are close to my home. My camera is never very far from my reach, and on this day I was compelled to take a photo of the rain clouds. Shortly after this photo was taken the rains began, pouring for days. My father use to hike in those mountains and my son explored parts of them. This day was unique because it was both cloudy and bright. The price of this painting is $200/free shipping. If interested please contact me at arroyoellie@sbcglobal.net I hope you enjoy and thank you for viewing.

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)
