Botanical Fine Art Painting, Nature "MAGNOLIAS IN THE WIND" The Art of Nature, Fine Art by Mindy Lighthipe

 




This original watercolor painting is done on Fabriano 300 lb Soft Press Paper. I have always loved magnolias. They are very short lived. They are the first "burst" of color in the spring. It seems like they bloom quickly and the petals can be seen dancing through the air.

Purple is my favorite color. When I saw this beautiful double trumpet Datura I knew I would have to have it in my garden! Every year it grows and drops its seeds.

Original Contemporary Seascape Painting “Falling Water Rising Tide“ by International Abstract Artist Arrachme

 




Falling Water Rising Tide” is part of Arrachme’s Peaceful Worlds Series where you can find royal purple deposits lining the shores like a natural reddish carpet. Feel the subtle power of creative energy expressed in the wisps of blue color carrying the viewer up from the opposite side of the color spectrum. After a lifetime of experience in art, meditation, and scientific enthusiasm, Arrachme says, “It is an intuitive process to combine a palette knife, brush strokes, and a mixture of mediums, to woo the senses. While painting, the canvas comes alive with a powerful voice. The key is to listen for the cues, the right colors, the balance, the power, the mediums, the values, and the mood. Guaranteed with the best paintings time shifts and the images all come to light. Silence can be very loud. As a contemporary abstract artist, often, I will need to be in complete silence from outside noise. It is in the stillness that the greatest creative inspiration appears.” Artists Embellished print sold to Wolfgang Puck new restaurant, Brownwood, The Villages Fl 2020 Award Winner- Featured Art in Acrylic Works 6 – Creative Energy – North light Books Publishing As seen in House and Garden UK 2018
