New Release: Magical Pond

March 12, 2023 Carolina Russo

New Painting Release!

Today I am very happy to announce the Official Release of my latest landscape watercolor painting. The title is “Magical Pond” if you follow me on Instagram @carolinarussoart you probably saw my posts as the work in progress. And if you are in my Collector’s List a few days ago you received my Newsletter with a preview. This painting is very special to me for many personal reasons. I love the mood of this ethereal landscape, the minimal color palette and the beautiful touch of gold. It is a magical place where the trees and the rocks are embracing the pond, the delicate sound of the the water and the light reflection in it are peacefully calming. An intimate place where you can connect with your soul and thoughts.

This painting is very similar from the ones included in my latest Collection released last October. A series of landscapes and seascapes paintings inspired by powerful natural elements, “Water and Earth” and created in appreciation for our gorgeous nature on this Earth. The new painting is a continuation of that series. I will paint more of these. I hope you love it as I do.

Art Vs. Artist 2022

October 9, 2022 Carolina Russo

#ARTVSARTIST2022

This is my Art Vs. Artists 2022,
I like to share with you what this is in case you’re not familiar with it. The hashtag #artvsarist is going on from years. I am not sure about the precise time, I guess this trend started among artists around the year 2016 on internet social media platforms like Instagram, Twitter, Facebook etc. Some call it Trend, Challenge. It is actually a way for artists to quickly showcase images of their work along with a photo of themselves. In a nine squares grid, artists pick their best artworks from the current year and usually the spot at the center is used for a selfie. I think is a nice way to discover the artist behind the art a little spotlight that brings quickly all together. I did participate to this in the past few years and I find it nice to look back at the previous ones to see how my art and work evolved. This year my grid is filled with landscapes. I selected some new paintings from my upcoming Collection release “Fields and Waters” and in the center a fun photo of me!
If you are new to my Blog and my art and want to know more of what I do read my About me
This is also a great way to discover new artists. If you would like to participate showcasing your work and yourself, you can until the end of the year! Easily find a template grid, I used the Layout App on my iPhone. When you created your 9 squares grid share it using the hashtags #artvsartist #artvsartist2022

Fields and Waters

August 22, 2022September 15, 2022 Carolina Russo

I hope to find you all well and that you’re having a lovely Summer. I can’t believe we are already at the end of August!!! I am doing well, just I haven’t had time to post here on the Blog. Today I came to say hi to all my friends and followers and to give you an update on what I am doing.
I am currently working on a new Collection of small watercolor paintings named “Fields and Waters” if you follow me on Instagram @carolinarussoart you already had a glimpse of it!

Fields and Waters is a Collection of intuitive and meditative art that soothe the soul of the viewer through delicate colors emitting feelings of harmony. I think at this time we all need peace and serenity in our lives.
This new series is inspired by the calming beauty found around us in nature, I am focusing mostly on landscapes and seascapes using two very important and powerful elements Water and Earth.
I have been painting places that appear in my memory or a representation of places I like near where I live here in Southern California. The ocean or a path where I go for my walks.

Sometimes I paint what is created intuitively by my soul, I don’t know the location but I am sure they are somewhere in the Universe.
When I paint without any reference is what I love the most it is a form of meditation where all is quite and calm, I let my soul and intuition guide my brush strokes… the water and color freely blends together, taking precious shapes that become alive on the paper creating together the outcome I love.

Each painting is painted on a beautiful deckled edges cotton watercolor paper hand torn by me adding a beautiful extra touch. These are small paintings size 4.5×3 and 6×4.5 inches, they look beautiful framed.
Since today I have created eight painting so far. I am planning to paint a few more and then release the whole collection by the end of August or beginning of September.
This painting title is “Perpetual” the ocean, the water movement and fluidity, water is conscious and carries information supporting life on Earth.
I am painting this whole series mainly with a painting knife and a couple round brushes. I love to paint with the knife it creates beautiful shapes and effects with watercolor.

❤ Upon release all the Original paintings from this Collection would be available. I will also have Limited Edition fine art Giclee prints available! If you have any question or would like to “Reserve” one of the Original paintings before the official release date send me a message for more details.

I hope you loved to see a glimpse of this Collection, more paintings are coming soon!

❤ #fieldsandwaters

Have a great week!

Thank you I haven’t painted 31 paintings this year, I have been busy, but I was able to paint a variety of subjects from landscapes, seascapes, flowers, animals, and mystic ones. I hope you resonated with them! I guess you did, from your lovely comments! Thank you, of course I am not stopping here, painting isn’t my hobby is my living! I will keep painting, I am so grateful that I have a nice commission painting that I need to do soon. I will share it with you when Is done and received. Stay tuned for more art! ❤

The World Watercolor Month 2020 – Day 30

July 30, 2020 Carolina Russo

– Meditation Pose –
Day #30 World Watercolor Month 2020

#WorldWatercolorMonth2020

Day 30
Prompt: Pose

Today painting is inspired by the prompt “Pose” and for me is time for a meditation 🧘‍♀️ pose! This is what instantly came to my mind while preparing for today painting. When thinking at the prompt Pose, I had a strong pull for a Meditation pose. As I mentioned already in a previous post, meditation is part of my life from long time, it is something I do daily!
I can’t believe this month of July is almost over! Tomorrow is last day of the 5th Edition of this wonderful World Watercolor Month Challenge!
