My Art

Veronica Mahara

 

Good Monday Morning!

Watercolor brush pens! I’ve been wanting to try this technique for a while and for Christmas my very talented artist daughter gave me a set.

A purist at heart, I didn’t think these would satisfy me but I love them!

I have the Arteza 48 set. Here are some of the drawings I did with the help of Rachel Reinert’s drawing book- In Bloom. I used the brush pens to paint them in. They blend really well especially with the water pen the set comes with. Really fun!

Christmas Card #3

Veronica Mahara

Good Monday Morning!

It’s getting close to Christmas and I have wrapped up my watercolor Christmas cards. This one was a joy to do and I want to thank Dana Fox at her youtube channel Wonder Forest. She is a great teacher and I will be following her in the future for more watercolor tutorials. I painted several of these with each one just a little bit different. I then took the painting and placed it on card stock with double stick tape.

I decided not to stamp a message on the front because I was sure my hand  would wobble and make a mess.

Hope you enjoyed seeing my Christmas cards!

See you next Monday 🙂  Have a great day!

Peace and Love,

Veronica

Christmas Card #2

Good Monday Morning!

Finished the second Christmas card! I like this one and could fiddle with it a lot longer but I promised myself I would keep it simple! Walk away!

I love the holiday season and I’m happy to say that my Christmas shopping is nearly done 🙂 I start as early as I can without it feeling weird. I love those last minute purchases though. Christmas Eve with the family at my house is a tradition and with five grandkids I need to have my act together! It’s such a special time for us and goes way pass the gifts. It’s the Food!! Well, it’s all that, but mostly the family gathering together. So grateful to have my daughters and their families close by!

Have a great day my friends,

Love and Peace,

Veronica

Painting for the Holidays

Veronica Mahara

Good Monday Morning to you all!

It’s time to start on my Christmas cards. Since I decided to paint each one, it’s not too early to begin this project. I might get through two, maybe three. My goal is six. I will be stamping the greeting inside. Yay! I get to buy a new stamp!

Here is a sample of the the first one. I’ll reveal the rest as I paint them. Painting on card stock is more difficult, but I just went for it!

What a joy it is to take a break from life and just paint 🙂

Have a wonderful day and week,

Peace and Love,

Veronica

Roses

Veronica Mahara

Flowers, especially roses are one of my favorite subjects to paint. The many layers of roses make them so interesting.

My leading lady, Jessica in The Traveled Heart begins to paint a rose in one of her art classes. It ends in disaster. Her integrity is challenged as well as her creative ability. She decides to take matters into her own hands which leads her to a life altering event …
