Painting #106 Where the Lights Shine Brightest

Around the Jeffords’ house, the day was devoted to yard work and car TLC. We had a grand time working together, although, I am worn out, to say the least… While pulling vines out of the bushes (my goodness they grow fast!) I stumbled upon some delicious black berries! What should I make out of them? I got about 2 pints.


I managed to squeeze in a couple hours of painting (ok, really, I wanted a break.) I am so pleased with how this watercolor painting turned out. It is such a collage of shapes, forms, colors, contrast, and Charleston! It measures 7x10 inches and is painted on very nice hot press watercolor paper. It will look stunning framed and on your wall! If you would like to buy it, it is for sale on my Etsy shop for $106! Just go to: Emil! Just go to: EmilyJeffords.etsy.com.



See you tomorrow!

PS.  I photographed this painting prior to signing it!  It is signed(!) with my traditional EJ swoosh. 
 

Progress... 

Progress... So, you may remember a few days ago (day 100 actually) I posted a watercolor painting called "Chandelier Warehouse"... this is its sister (or brother if you prefer). It's a watercolor of the same storefront from a different point of view. I just love the abstract shapes, and the depth of view created by store fronts. They fascinate me. This is a 7x10 watercolor painting that will, hopefully, be done tomorrow!  Do you have any title suggestions?

Have a wonderful Saturday! Enjoy time with family, friends, and the lawn mower...

Annalisa was just too cute to keep to myself today. We took her down town tonight and carried her around in her chest harness and had a grand time. She, of course, got covered with ice cream and kisses, and danced all the way down Main Street.

What a Day for a Daydream

It seems like I've wanted to do everything except paint today...  mainly just day dream...  

and this is what came of it:

Painting #100!!! The glitziest painting yet...

We've done it!  Painting #100!  I am so thrilled to be here!  I cannot believe it's been 100 days...  Thank you so much for your support and encouragement (and for all the photos!)  I could not do this project without you!

As you may remember, we went to Charleston a couple weeks ago.  I just love visiting that city... almost as much as I love drawing inspiration from window shopping!  I love all the lights, the shiny things, the reflections, the dark shadows, the wonderful shapes, the hundreds of layers, and the warm tones you can see through a store window.   Here is a watercolor painting of just one of the shops I perused while there.

Chandelier Warehouse" is an 8x10 watercolor painting on my favorite hot press watercolor paper and is for sale on my Etsy page for $100!  This is a serious steal...

Painting #98 Before the Clouds Dry Out

I'm pretty excited...  tomorrow my husbands and I are celebrating his birthday!  We're taking a day trip to Atlanta, going to the Coke Museum, Ikea, a few design shops and out to eat at the most incredible looking restaurant - Dolce Enoteca e Ristorante!  I hope it tastes as wonderful as it looks (photos below).  We're going to enjoy ourselves.  It will be the first time I've been away from my baby girl, Annalisa, for a whole day.  I'm going to miss her (but enjoy some one-on-one time with my hubby too.)

So... in order to have a day off tomorrow, I've been painting like a crazy person.  However, only one painting got totally done.  But that's ok.  The other painting is a watercolor, so I'll just take it with me in the car!  ...we'll see how that turns out...  

This oil painting is a depicting that eerie moment right before a huge storm.  I just love that energetic calm; as if you know someone is sneaking up on you, but trying to be very quiet.  

In Greenville, it gets very warm, as if the clouds are giving you a warm blanket hug before dumping their contacts on the earth.  I love the colors, the brush strokes, and the drama of the sky.  

This painting is 16x12 inches and would look stunning in a dark wood, black, or even lux gold frame.  It of for sale on my Etsy Shop, and should really not be there... it should be in your home.  Let's be honest, your home needs a little art.  

See you on Sunday!

Painting #97 Italian Sea Scape

This beautiful 12x16 oil painting can be found on my Etsy Shop: EmilyJeffords.etsy.com

It is a rustic, romantic, earthy, painting of Italy!  I haven't been to Italy - YET.  But, I've lived very, very close to it in Tunisia Africa.  I think if my eye sigh were just a little bit better, I could have seen it from across the Mediterranean sea.  But alas...  I must paint what my own eyes have not seen...  

You however, can still enjoy it as much as I do.  It was a lot of fun to paint the sky and water.  It looked so magical and the building and structures added that Tuscan old-world feel.  Showcase this oil painting in a rustic dark wood frame, and your house instantly look stylish, rustic, and romantic.   

What is White, and Black, and Yellow All over...?

Just a little inspiration for today's painting.

Painting #78 Greener Pastures

I don't know if you ever stumbled on a hill that just really needed to be rolled down, but I have. They always seemed to be very grassy; made out of the kind of grass that just wants to break open and stain your outfit irrevocably.

Somehow, that's what I think of when I see this painting. I know there are no enticing hills in it, but it just looks like the kind of nature I would like to revel in. I believe this photograph was taken in Europe, somewhere in Germany (hence the lush loveliness). It's an oil painting on a beautiful wooden block.

You can buy this painting on my Etsy Shop or by emailing me!
