Comments on: "Watercolor Wednesday" (58)
Gorgeous mix of colours!
Much appreciated!
Beautiful watercolor. 🙂
I’m like a biiiird…..something something….and I know for sure that the song had the words flying free! (the Nelly Furtado song..hehehe).
I can just sense the freeeeeeedom of expanding wings and taking off!!!!!
I envy this bird his wings. But yes, I’m living vicariously when I watch the birds too:)
I’m always amazed at what you manage to create with watercolours! I never managed to figure them out at all. Maybe I should give them another chance at some point! See, your work is inspiring!
Thanks Verena, you should give watercolors another go. I find your photography an inspiration!
It’s beautiful! I feel like I could take off into the air like with the dreams I had as a child….
That’s so nice:) Thank you.
So vibrant and lovely. I’m curious, how long did it take you to paint?
Thank you Jill. This took about 15-20 min. I think
Gorgeous painting Elena.
Thank you:)
I love the colours and the movement in this. Beautiful!
Thanks so much Elaine!
Look at that! Like it’s taken flight from the very paper it was created 🙂
Thanks much Geoff!
This painting makes me feel uplifted Elena.. and joyful. Thank you
Thank YOU Helen!
Lovely image, Elena! Really intrigued to see your new collaborations.
Thanks Richard. Excited to show you all.
And we can’t wait to see!!!
Thank you:)
Very striking image !
What impressed me most is the expression of bird,
resolutely aiming high one direction.
Was that what bird expressed or Elena’s mind ?
This was indeed the bird Yoshi! 🙂
Flying in the blue, j’aime. 😉
🙂 Thank you!
Can’t wait to see! This one is endearing and, as usual, eye catching. But now you’ve got me curious about what’s next on your platter.
Hang on…;)
Beautifully painted bird while you fly!
Thank you for sharing!
Have a wonderful day dear Elena! Big hugs, Stefania! 🙂
You’re welcome Stefania! Thank you:)
Beautiful bird! Neat action capture, too.
Thanks Cindy!
amazing. i have been dabbling in watercolor and would love to be able to paint in watercolor as you do !! you are soooo talented !
Isabella, I expect to see wonderful watercolors on your blog in about…two weeks time:) I don’t imagine anything less than wonderful from you when you put your mind and heart to work. Thank you. Much appreciated:)
Hooray! We have lift off!!
We do!:)
Beautiful Elena ….
A flying rhapsody of colour …
Thank you:)
I love the movement…bird looking up, colors dripping down as if representing the wind. Amazing colors.
Thank you Eon!
Soaringly beautiful. The brightness of that red breast is joyful.
Elena, your quick watercolour sketches are full of an elegant energy.
Thank you Karen. Very much appreciated.
Maybe quick, but beautiful as always, I feel lift off….
Good! The lift attracted me to this robin. Thanks Christina!
Wow…. Most definitely one of your best yet! Well done!
Thanks John:)
So much ‘feeling’ in your work… very emotive…!
Thank you Carolyn!
Wow..The low angle point of view and head looking upwards makes it look magnificent!
Thank you Arjun. I actually watched this little guy in flight.
Has to be. I don’t remember seeing an interpretation as yours.
Beautiful. I love the view point.
Thank you Allyson Marie. You’ve gone right to the point:)
dear Elena this is so beautiful, I loved it so much. Thanks and Love, nia
Thanks Nia!
It’s so beautiful. I wish i could sit next to you when you are creating these beautiful paintings
You’re here in spirit! Thank you:)
