To me, seeing the art of others is a unique view into the world the way they see it, it is rare and difficult to share that view with words. I suppose that is where the phrase, "A picture speaks a thousand words," came from.
I was looking around etsy, when I stumbled upon a few incredible watercolor creations by Donna Rose, -- the Petunias initially caught my eye.
I was so impressed by the choice of color and the truly watery use of the paint to depict each flower from Donna's perspective.
Then I saw the tortoise... I thought his expression was genuine and the color usage was brilliant.
But what can you say about this rose? So perfectly illustrating a rose, in sunset hues, at the peak of bloom. . . . .Just glorious.
From the Artist: "I have been painting for many years.
It is something that helps me keep my sanity.
I have taken some lessons and a few workshops but mostly I'm a self-taught painter. I recently started working with stainglass. Love it. I think it is the beautiful colors that draws me. I have taught painting and have shown my work in both Idaho and Montana. Now along with everyone else on etsy I'm showning it to the world."
Take a moment to stop by Donna's etsy site and look at her work, I am certain you'll enjoy what you find there. http://www.artbydonnarose.etsy.com/
