After the move to Tokyo, I've been slow updating my art blog. Many apologies. Here's my first update using my iPhone blogger app. This is actually very exciting! This is a painting that I finished recently and wanted to share with you. The Potomac River is really magnificent and this is one of my favorite scenes of Georgetown seen from George Washington Parkway. <br />
Thank you for taking a look! <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-QDykDEVrduY/UTAP6WDIkfI/AAAAAAAABWw/qZzzSIu2toU/s640/blogger-image--1468268438.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-QDykDEVrduY/UTAP6WDIkfI/AAAAAAAABWw/qZzzSIu2toU/s640/blogger-image--1468268438.jpg" /></a></div>theresamillerwatercolorshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04392595279030557008noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4743997417502782886.post-245586508411255092012-12-03T17:18:00.003-08:002012-12-03T17:18:52.065-08:00Azalea Buds<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

Hello everyone!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's been a while since we moved to Tokyo this past Summer, I'm happy to say we are settled and happy to live here for the next 4 years. Although I haven't posted here due to computer/camera issues, I have been busy painting almost every day. The watercolor painting bellow is the view that I have of the garden pond as I step out of the elevator in my building. We have a lovely Japanese garden which is a great source of inspiration to me. I hope to do more paintings of the garden in the near future. </div>

So, I finally have internet access and am able to update my art blog, my clients and my dear artblog followers. Thank you always for being so loyal to me. I plan to keep this artblog going for at least the next four years while I live in Tokyo and will try to post here more often. You can also friend me on Facebook where I seem to be more active ;) I can predict adding urban scene paintings while living here- I'm already very inspired by the view I have from my new home on the 9th and 10th floors of my building, in the middle of Tokyo.

We had a houseful of happy and wonderful family-in-law over Christmas (lucky me!) and will have a quiet end-of-the year and New Year's celebration. <br /><br />Artistically speaking, this year has been thrilling for me and I feel I've grown a lot as I venture more deeply into a new kind of media (oil) and new genre (landscapes) - and most importantly, plein-air painting! The thrill of plein-air painting is hard to describe - although I felt overwhelmed in the beginning, I grew to love it and I think I'm hooked for life!<br /><br />Happy holidays, everyone!theresamillerwatercolorshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04392595279030557008noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4743997417502782886.post-30007203932187740562011-11-17T05:48:00.000-08:002011-11-17T06:05:17.243-08:00November's Art Exhibit at the Art League<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-mVwPJljP2T8/TsUSn2z0KRI/AAAAAAAABOY/JB0StJdRqCo/s1600/cheserex%2Blamb.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 318px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-mVwPJljP2T8/TsUSn2z0KRI/AAAAAAAABOY/JB0StJdRqCo/s320/cheserex%2Blamb.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5675963381307418898" border="0" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Daisy (Lamb at Chateau de Cheserex, Switzerland)<br />Watercolor on paper<br /><br /><br /><br />Hi Everyone!

I started out painting with oils with <a href="http://www.theartleague.org/">The Art League </a>and I ended up getting hooked! I've been painting outdoors on a regular basis and loving it! I will eventually start posting my oils here - although I fell I must change the name of my blog, meanwhile I have been practicing, practicing and practicing. Of course, I still paint in watercolors. The above painting is an <span style="font-style: italic;">in studio</span> effort after a <span style="font-style: italic;">plein air</span> session on<a href="http://www.nps.gov/this/index.htm"> Roosevelt Island</a>, with my <span style="font-style: italic;">plein air</span> painting group.<br />Key Bridge looks beautifully majestic from the Island and you can also see <a href="http://www.georgetown.edu/about/index.html">Georgetown University</a> in the background...<br /></div></div>theresamillerwatercolorshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04392595279030557008noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4743997417502782886.post-19441262683202143222011-10-07T08:03:00.000-07:002011-10-07T08:03:14.670-07:00River Farm - Alexandria<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

I've been painting oils <i>en plein air</i> in Alexandria, VA, in the past few weeks. You can see the Potomac river in the background, as well as Maryland on the other side of the river. The painting above is an <i> in studio</i> effort, in watercolors. As autumn progresses, I can see dramatic changes in the color of the local landscape - I hope I can post more paintings showing the changes of colors, in the near future.... </div>

I miss my walks at the Old Town Geneva. I lost count of the times I
stopped at this place for a cup of coffee and cake: a great place for refueling and people watching.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope you are enjoying the cooler weather of this beautiful autumn, if you live in the northern hemisphere, and the beautiful spring weather if you live in the southern part of the globe! As for the people who live in this area, I can say for certain that we deserve a break from the extreme heat, hurricane (Irene), floods and even a fairly big (in my opinion!) earthquake! What a summer it was!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I did not have much time for painting while my daughter was on summer vacation, as we squeezed travels and kept an overall busy schedule, however I did manage to produce a few paintings, during rare brakes, which I plan to post here soon. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The above painting of Geneva was done from a digital photo that I took before we moved to Washington DC, one year ago. I hope you like it!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Stay well, everyone, and stay in touch!</div>
<br />
