Comments on: "Watercolor Wednesday" (64)
Superb work Elena, such an elusive feeling in these few subtle yet strong brushstrokes.
So much with so little!
Wonderful simplicity and yet so strong! Love it!!
Very nice in its simplicity and minimalism.
How utterly beautiful..grace and light, melting in the rain..
A lovely image, achieved with a few but decisive strokes. I love the fact that the painting can be see in many different ways.
Less is so much more 🙂
Your lady displays such nonchalance in her pose stepping on through the space you created for her Elena ….
I appreciate that Poppy, thank you:)
What a simply strokes and what a great result!
Thank you Nuno!
Amazing work of art from your talented hands,so beautiful and subtle:)
Many thanks:)
Absolutely stunning ! You so inspire me!
And you me! Thanks Linda!
So much comes through with a few perfectly placed brush strokes 🙂 Beautiful.
Thanks very much Allyson:)
Love it, great colors
Thanks!
Interesting abstract light move as I said your touch Elena
Thank you Doron.
Nice, Elena… like a ghost fading away.
Thank you Tom.
Elena I’ve said I like these but I don’t know why – in all honesty I can’t see them! I think there’s a problem with my screen setup. It’s the mood, the lightness of touch and the minimalist approach I appreciate.
Not too much to see, a very minimal sketch. Think snow:)
Chic, and playful!
Thank you!
Lovely as always. Makes me think: Snow. I just posted a one-act play about a mother reading to her child – I should have tried to convince you to create a drawing for it…alas, I stuck with whatever wordpress pulls up for me 🙂
YES, the snow is the other presence here. Thanks James! Don’t think I have what you’re looking for in the archives. Another time maybe?
Nice, Elena. But she makes me feel like we just broke up, now alone. I’d want her back if that were true.
Just a lover’s quarrel;) All is right now:)
So beautiful you made this sketch, woman in motion, with brush a little play! You are very talented! Congratulations!
Have a wonderful day, dear Elena. Hugs, Ştefania 🙂
Thanks so much Stefania!
Wow! I love how you do that. You are able to capture so much with so few strokes. 😀
It either happens or it doesn’t 🙂 Luck. Thanks Sarah:)
Luck, and maybe a little skill? 😉
Well, I’ll say this, LOTS of practice:)
Fantastic, I just don’t know how you do this with just a few strokes of a brush!
Just a lot of fun with a willful brush. Thanks:)
Beautiful!!!!
(And I have learned a new Word: “Wispy”…That I think suits a lot of your great watercolors!!! 🙂
Thank you! I like wispy too:)
Saying so much with so little. Stunning!
Thank you Karen!
Oh, the things I see!
🙂
A ha ! It’s very pretty !
Thanks Yoshi!
So beautiful. Inspiring. Might I borrow this for one of my posts, dear?
Absolutely Troy! And thank you.
Yay! Would you care to see the draft first?
Sure!
But not necessary.
It’s up now dear.
Thank you again, and I hope I did your beautiful work some sort of justice.

Exquisite watercolor.
Thank you Jet.
Wispy.
She is:)
Quintessential chicness.
Yes:)
Awesome piece Elena – all bundled up as the figure walks into the distance. The minimalist technique works extremely well in this painting.
Thank you Mary:)
Beautiful! Wonderfully minimalist in paint strokes but with big impact. Great use of negative space!
Thank you Cindy!
Just returning from my trip to SE Asia and this took me right back there. Stunning!
Welcome home Robin! Thank you:)
