Happy painting

Hello!
It's been quite a long time without me painting and blogging. Missed my paints and I've missed you guys! I hope everyone is doing fine.
Today a touch of real winter came to our coast and a few snowflakes were dancing in the wind. :)
I'm back with a little scene from our coast.
Actually this painting was a January painting challenge with Matej. Please have a look at the wonderful atmosphere Matej created in his painting.

Some time ago I felt inspired by an old Rita Hayworth photo from a magazine, so I tried to paint my first portrait in watercolor. ...
But I just don't have a clue which color should I pick for the background. Any ideas?

Have a marvellous Sunday everybody!

December challenge

Hello everybody!

How are you all doing?
It's been nearly a month without blogging for me. ... Having some troubles with the PC which repeatedly shuts down spontaneously (tomorrow it goes on repair :) )...

Matej provided a beautiful and rather difficult photo for our December painting challenge and here is my simplified version. You'll find Matej's one on his blog in the next days.

Enjoy these last days of 2008...
See you soon! Hugs, Jona

Yorkshire Cottage

It's time for this month's WetCanvas challenge. Photo by Yorky.
Same old story - I'm making new houses out of old ones,... But I promise one day I'll be able to surprise myself and paint a proper cottage!


Have a lovely Sunday.
