My Lighthouse painting found home in Scotland!

– LIMITED EDITION ART PRINTS –

– Lighthouse (Rhode Island) –

Today I have a nice news to share with you!

My watercolor painting “Lighthouse – Rhode Island” was created last July 2016 during my participation to the first edition of the World Watercolor Month a worldwide challenge that did bring together artists from all over the world to create 31 paintings in 31 days. My Lighthouse is actually available in Limited Edition Art Prints on my Etsy Shop Carolina Russo Art one of prints just Sold recently to a dear friend Whafflemethis part of our Community here on WordPress. I love Lighthouses and seascapes they are so beautiful bring calmness and meditative feelings! When I painted the Original watercolor, I searched for inspiration and I came across beautiful images of “Rhode Island” an US State in New England, lots of lovely views and places. I found over a Google search a beautiful photo of a lighthouse located near the city of Newport. That was my inspiration for my painting I have posted the photo below for you to see (sorry I don’t know the photographer name to give credit).

Here is the photo that I have received this morning, the painting is beautifully framed in a cherry wood frame, looks great in his new home in Scotland. Rich aka wafflemethis recently ordered the art print with the option upon request to have the painting mounted with a matt which I personally prepare. This is an option that I offer for a small difference of price to Limited Edition Prints, so that the print when received is ready to be framed. We decided for a blue matt because brings out greatly the colors of the painting and match with another “Lighthouse” painting of mine that he previously purchased, and I am sure they look great together.

This is the reference photo I used to create the painting in my vision and signature style.

Poetry – Crystals

January 31, 2017 Carolina Russo

Crystals

translucent surface
of an inner energy

powerful light
radiating rays of depth
in the history of nature

sun reflection and donation
of universal love
for the humanity to hold

a cosmic revelation
sometimes unknown
like puzzle pieces to find
within our soul

awareness will come
with perception and feelings
love is power
light will shine.

Thank You!

A Rare Red Owl #DrawABirdDay #WorldWatercolorGroup

Red Owl - Original watercolor ©Carolina Russo — Red Blue Eyed Owl – Original watercolor ©Carolina Russo

Today I like to share with you my new watercolor, I made it last night before go to bed and it made me happy! I love Owls I find them to be so beautiful there are many species and rare ones. Time ago I was pinning on my boards on Pinterest and I came across this amazing photo of a blue eyed half red Owl I don’t know what species is and if isn’t an edited photo I’ve heard that people do edit animals photos to change their colors, but whatever it is it looks amazingly beautiful and that inspired me to paint as soon I have seen it weeks ago. Last night finally I painted him thinking that today following our Community tradition here in our circle of friends artists it is the 8th of the month is #DrawABirdDay . Here below I will add the original photo that inspired my painting for you all to see this beauty!

FIREPLACE Day 9 - Original Watercolor ©Carolina Russo — FIREPLACE Day 9 – Original Watercolor ©Carolina Russo

– Winter Wonderland – Day 9 FIREPLACE

Winter Wonderland 31 Days 31 Paintings Challenge!!!
Today following December prompt list it’s time for “FIREPLACE” I am joining Charlie at doodlewash

For this painting I wanted to put together the atmosphere of a cozy fireplace ready for the Holidays! Who doesn’t love to be near a magic fireplace and relax with the sparcking flame, it is the perfect way to warm up a cold Winter and to release your stress! A teddy bear, colored stockings, the Christmas tree all comes together for happy and joyful moments drinking a hot chocolate at the fireplace. What a better vignette to have all these lovely things in one place and see the cute teddy bear enjoying it all! I wish you all to have beautiful moments when near a fireplace! ❤
For this painting I also used a gold pen on the Christmas tree and the lettering. I was able to take the photo to show the gold, I hope you can see it! 🙂

Details about my watercolors:
watercolors are outlined with black, white and gold ink pens. I used French Artists Watercolors Sennelier l’Aguarelle 12 demi-godets half-pans travel metal box Ink pens used Pigma Micron Black ink #02, brown #01, white Uni-ball Signo gel pen and a black ink Pilot Prera fountain pen fine nib . A touch of gold with a Gold Gellly Roll by Sakura I painted on a small 3.5 x 5.5 inches mixed media sketchbook.

Today I have been thinking as referiment for my painting at the northern cardinal is a North American bird in the genus Cardinalis; it is also known colloquially as the redbird or common cardinal. Cardinal birds because the beautiful red color are very often used in Holidays and Christmas illustrations so here I am with mine! Also I don’t know if we still doing the #DrawABirdDay always on the 8th of the month, if we are then this painting goes for that too! 😉
