AQUARELLA - 5 X 7 INCHES
PLASTIC POINSETTIAS |
Je sais, je devrais avoir honte! Je fais pousser des fleurs en plastique sur ma galerie arrière. Que faire d'autre pendant les Fêtes? La température est dégueulasse. De la pluie, de la neige, des glaçons, du grésil, et quoi d'autres encore. Mais, ces fleurs sont encore pimpantes de vie après deux semaines au froid et pleines de coloris!
I know, shame on me! I grow plastic poinsettias on my back gallery during the Christmas Holidays. What can I say? We're having such bad weather. Rain, snow, icicle, sleet, you name it. But, these flowers are still looking good after two weeks in the cold and kind of colorful too!

Comme elles sont jolies tes fleurs ! Et comme elles doivent égayer ton balcon par une journée aussi moche..,
J'aime beaucoup tes tons de rouge bien vibrants. Et... les flocons de neige à l'air si joyeux
Bonsoir Martine! C'est très gai quand je regarde par la fenêtre, j'aime bien l'atmosphère de Noêl et je garde aussi mon gros sapin sur le balcon jusqu'en février " minimum ". :) Bisous ma belle.
Dearest Helen - plastic or not you have turned them into a wonderful piece of art. Hope you are having a lovely start to 2015.
Hi Debbie! Thanks, great hearing from you. Another year, another challenge, right! Hugs
En regardant les plantes mortes de ma terrasse à cause des températures nocturnes, je te comprends bien, ma chère...
Tes poinsettias en plastique, elles sont gaies et belles et elles t'ont donné à toi et m'ont offert l'occasion de ce dessin si charmant... Alors... tes fleurs sont parfaites!!
Gros bisous
Muy interesante el efecto que has conseguido. Besos
Pretty one Helen. I hope 2015 is very very good to you. :)
Margarita, les fleurs en plastique sont la solution idéale. J'espère que tu as passé de belles Fêtes. Bisous
Thanks Olga! I think this Challenge of Leslie Saeta is a great occasion to try different approaches. Good exercices! Hope you're good, Warm Hugs
Hi Carol, thanks for your wishes! I hope you had a good Christmas Holiday and all the best for this Year! Hugs
This is a lovely painting! I admire the way you created a sense of atmosphere. It's very wintery. I grow velvet poinsettias on my front porch, too. Silk geraniums in the spring, and mums in the fall! They always look perfect!
Hi Katherine! Thanks , I do love your choice of fancy flowers. Happy painting and I hope you have a wonderful Year!
Flowering in Winter
In the Québec winter
plastic flowers are growing
on your deck, fun.
Yet you kept them real, nice,
by painting with watercolor
instead of plastic resin acrylics.
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow,
as your watercolors flow, flow, flow
while you paint plein air
from your warm window.
I paint real potted flowers
outside in winter, however,
it's by placing them on the deck railing
and snapping photos, very quickly,
and painting watercolors from them.
I took too long photographing once
on a very, very cold day,
and that was the end of
that pot of tulips.
I see you often commenting
on Martine Paquet's art blog.
It was Martine who reminded me
about Leslie's 30 days, even though,
I'd done it two times, and I'd have
missed this one if it wasn't
for your first commenter
in this thread, Martine.
Thanks for your kind comment
on my art blog. -Bruce
Thanks Bruce! I didn't know you were also a poet. Nice hearing from you, Happy painting! :)
En peintures on ne voit pas qu'ils sont en plastique, et tu en a fait une peinture magnifique ! En hiver on fait ce que l'on peut sur le balcon :-)) Bisou.
