Garden In A Vase Number 6 

Watercolor Still life painting 16×24 inches.

Garden In A Vase Number 6 is finally done. It 's the first big size painting in the collection. It took me three days to finish with a lot of patience, observation and color touch-up. The painting is a mixed-media of watercolors for the flowers, and still life objects. And the greenery scenery is painted with acrylics. This painting is a realistic impressionism painting. I used both techniques were my artistic mind wants to apply it. The greenery scene behind the vase of flowers is fully the work of impressionism with brush strokes in dark green to make the vibrant flowers of the vase to shine. The painting is like an early morning day in spring. But it's simply the beauty of tranquility and rest. A calmness of the mind and of the heart.

Painting In Progress

Bit by bit the vision begins to come alive. I had to work slowly and gently because I was working a lot with contrast and lots of color mixing.

Sandwich helps my creative energy a lot. During this painting Tuna and egg sandwich was the energy food that keeps me active.
