I was fooling around and tried to paint a flower with out drawing it out in pencil first. This was the happy result that occurred. Although it doesn't resemble the model, I was pleasantly surprised on how it turned out.
A site to find out what's going on in my art business and to talk about my art.
About Me
- Mary-Anna Welch
- Beavercreek, Ohio, United States
- Mary-Anna Welch is an artist from Beavercreek, Ohio. Upon receiving her BFA and MA from the University of Illinois in Art Education, she shared her love of art in the private and public school systems for over 10 years. After experimenting with several different mediums, she has rediscovered her passion for painting and has settled on watercolor as her main focus. Her work in watercolors has evolved from the very abstract to a more graphic, non-traditional interpretation of her subject. She has incorporated her painting techniques that she used in oil to blend color on the canvas and translated these in her watercolor painting. This results in a blend of traditional colors and images with contemporary styles and forms. When asked about her subject matter, Mary-Anna responds, “I have a black thumb and can not grow anything but weeds. By painting my garden I will always have a rainbow of colors to enjoy no matter what season it is.” Mary-Anna continues to share her love of art by teaching art classes in her studio and at the local art center. You can find her busy painting in her studio or out at gathering ideas in a nearby garden.

Peas in a Pod

Original Watercolor Painting. To find out more about this painting: Click Here.
My daughter Stephanie and I decided to grow peas for the first time. After picking the pods, she kept asking me where the peas were. They didn't look like the kind we get from the grocery store. As I opened up the pod, her face lit up and she told me that they looked like the...y were having a slumber party in there and we needed to wake them up. By the way, they were really tasty!

Western Ohio Watercolor Painting Spring Show

Purple Sunflowers in an Alien Field, Original Watercolor Painting
This painting was done while I was experimenting with color. I deliberately chose not to paint it traditionally. Instead I looked for the colors in the shadows and used those hues to paint with. The painting was so far from what I usually do, the name "Purple Flowers in an Alien Field" seemed appropriate.
This painting made it in to the Western Ohio Watercolor show this weekend at the Town and Country Mall in Kettering.What I'm doing today...
Going to the Cannery to change out my paintings for next month's First Friday show.
