Morning lilies by Theresa Miller

Morning Lilies

55cmx40cm Watercolor on Paper

I'm working on several paintings , at once, and since they are not ready for posting, I decided to post this one that I did last year. These lilies are from my garden - every spring they look glorious. This painting is larger than my usual daily painting and has been used in a previous exhibition, in Geneva. I hope you like them.

Karin Jurick's Jack by Theresa Miller

Karin's Jack

6.5" x 10" Watercolor on Paper

I was so touched by Karin Jurick's story of Jack, her dog, that I had to make a portrait of him. It was a pleasure painting Jack, my first painting of a dog!

Triple Pleasure (Strawberry Trio) by Theresa Miller

Triple Pleasure

6.5" X 6.5" Watercolor on paper

This is the first time I paint strawberries and I really enjoyed painting them. They also tasted really good - sweet and juicy. Double pleasure, I mean, triple pleasure!

It's been raining a lot since yesterday and the sky is grey, but it does not matter at all - It was a perfect day to be indoors in the company of delightful friends, wonderful wine and delicious food! Thanks for the wonderful lunch invitation and the most pleasurable afternoon!

Red wine and peaches by Theresa Miller

6.5" x 10" Watercolor on Paper

The peaches in the orchards in my neighborhood have already been harvested - I enjoyed their ripe aroma every time I walked past them during my daily walks. Autumn is in the air!

Piramid ( tomatoes) By Theresa Miller

Piramid (tomatoes)

6.5"x6.6" Watercolor on Paper

Before the summer is officially over, I wanted to do one more painting of tomatoes – by far, my favorite subject in the past summer months! In this painting, I enjoyed painting the reflection of the red tomatoes on the silver tray.

Yesterday evening, I spent a couple of very pleasant hours watching artist Susan Carlin painting a portrait on ustream.tv. For those who do not know Susan, she is an accomplished portrait artist in Texas, who has been very generous with her time and knowledge to show us how she goes about painting her beautiful portraits. Check out her blog for details and watch her painting next time – it’s magical!

Autumn Offerings (apples in ceramic bowl) by Theresa Miller

Autumn Offerings (Apple in ceramic bowl)

6.5" x 10" Watercolor on Paper

This is the last week of summer vacation before our daughter goes back to school as a second grader -time flies when we are having a good time. The air is crisp and cool and I can feel the autumn coming. Soon our apples in the backyard will be ready to be picked – maybe I will be able to make a few apple pies. The apples in my painting today come from the store, though. I hope you like it!

Yellow Tomatoes in Sake Cup by Theresa Miller

Yellow Tomatoes in Sake cup

6.5" x 10" Watercolor on Paper

Hello everybody! This has been a very busy Summer and although I've been painting every day (or most days), I haven't had enough time to produce one painting a day. I did, however, manage to finish this one last night, and I am posting it first thing in the morning. These are the same tomatoes from my potted plants in my terrace... By the way, they are delicious!!!

I hope you have been enjoying the Olympic Games as much as I am! Have a great day, everyone!

Garlic

Garlic

6.5" x 6.5" Watercolor on Paper

I really enjoyed painting this garlic. I loved putting all those different colors on the thin garlic skin and still "see" it white.

I hope you are all having a great summer! We just came back from the mountains in the Suisse Alps - what a beautiful country this is! I'm really getting into the mood of painting mountain landscape, for a change!

Summer Bounty II

(Yellow and Cherry Tomatoes in Japanese Bowl)

7" x 7" Watercolors on Paper

Here is my second take on the "harvest" of tomatoes from my potted tomato plants. Let's see how many I can paint - hopefully many because there are lots of them ripening in my sun drenched terrace, right now.

I was itching to go back to painting after not being able to do it for a couple of weeks. It's wonderful to be back at it! I hope you are all having a great Summer, too!

To the blogging artists out there: Jeff Hayes is doing a painting giveaway this month. He is one of my favorite daily painters, an awsome artist, and I think it's worth it checking him out, if you haven't done so, yet.

Summer Bounty ( Cherry Tomatoes in Japanese Sake Cup)

7" x 7" Watercolor on paper

It's been a busy and pleasurable Summer for us in Geneva with lots of activities with our daughter. It is also a pleasure to get a window of opportunity to paint in between these activities.

I have 3 tomato plants (cherry, regular and yellow) in planters on my terrace and they are doing very well, with lots of tomatoes ripening in the sun. They taste delicious and they are perfect "models" for my Summer paintings... I hope you like my first painting from a series of tomato paintings I would like to do this summer.
