"Pink Cabbage Roses", 9" x 12", Watercolor (SOLD)

"Pink Cabbage Roses" is a painting I just did while my head was spinning with many emotions. I natually love roses and these in particular reminded me of some a friend sent to me recently. My children are never far from my mind but in seeing these colors, I think of Lindsey. These are some of her favorite colors and they remind me of her. I also think of breast cancer and how it effects the lives of so many women. While my mind was spinning I decided to paint these roses. I hope you gals get your annual check ups(guys too) and your mammograms. After that I hope you enjoy my painting. The cost of this "Hopeful" is $199.00 arroyoellie@sbcglobal.net Thank you, Eleanor

"Standing in the Sunlight", 11' X 9", Watercolor (NFS, Collection of the Artist)

"Standing in the Sunlight", 11" x 9", Watercolor. I painted this from a photo I took in the springtime when I was out in my rose garden. It was a beautiful day and the sun was shining but it wasn't too hot. It seemed that the sun was giving an extra kiss to the tops of the beautiful roses. I remember a slight breeze as one could hear the leaves moving slightly in the trees. I took many photos of the roses that day as I just couldn't seem to get enough of their beauty. I hope in some small way I will be able to do them justice. I tried to keep this painting watery and light. It is AVAILABLE..and if interested just send me a note to arroyoellie@sbcglobal.net Thanks, Ellie

"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

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
