Lila's Hot Air Balloon Maiden Voyage
Lila's first hot air balloon ride.
I've noticed that I often paint serious subjects. I decided to make the painting more fun by using watercolor and ink. And of course, a fun subject. Hope I continue to develop this kind of style.

for Days 29-31 - Choco Indulgence
for Day 27 - Flower Stalls at Stare Miasto Torun
At the corner near the 2 Catholic churches of the Stare Miasto stand the flower stalls. Different varieties of flowers are to be found at each stall. Lilies of the valley and roses are abundant. I miss walking down the cobbled streets of Torun while leisurely gazing at these stalls. Hope to come back to this place...someday!

for Day 26 - Dancing with Fred and Ginger (Tancici Dum)
Frank Gehry's Tancici Dum at Prague, Czech Republic is one visual treat! The Tancici Dum or Dancing Building was inspired by the famous dancing pair of all time, Fred and Ginger. I especially loved the curve on Ginger's body. It gives the illusion that the two buildings are dancing to a tune. :)

25th!
For the 25th painting, I chose to post one scene from my most favorite place in the world --- PARIS! We were on our way to see the Pompidou, we passed by the St. Denis and lo and behold - beautiful gardens within the district. I particularly loved the sprawling flowers and the hanging greens on the arches. Will be posting more paintings from scenes seen on Paris. :)

Quarter of the Goal
I've already posted 24 watercolor paintings. Next posting will be quarter of the Goal. 24 down, 76 paintings to go. The original intent of this project is to post one painting a day. Since, my schedule and circumstance will not permit, I will just post a corresponding painting for each day. The original purpose of the project is to serve as creative outlet during my free periods. Anyway, the result would still be a collection of 100 paintings by January 01, 2010.
On a personal note, there are so many positive developments. Hubby and I just transferred to our new home. :) Aside from this, I will be enrolling in a design school next year (january). This will be an enrichment class in interior design. This will complement my architectural skills. I also am preparing for another design project. Hopefully, the client and I reach a favorable arrangement for the project. I am keeping my fingers crossed before the years ends... :)

for Day16- Bunch of Yellow Calla Lillies
Watercolor painting in 7.5x5.5inches Arches watercolor paper.
My first time to paint calla lillies. Usual calla lily compositions are arranged upright. I decided to paint in the fast becoming favorite color in the Philippines - yellow. Yellow's new meaning is hope.
My 16th painting out of the 100. 84 to go!

This is one of my favorites. Wet-on-wet technique with orange and red color combination. I also love the configuration of the flowers. Also, more of this in the future!

for Day14- Lavender Tulips
Watercolor painting in 5.5x7.5inches Arches watercolor paper.
I enjoyed doing this piece. I used the wet-on-wet technique for this painting. I also employed artistic license in doing this. Though I was able to visit Holland, I wasn't able to see lavender tulips in my short stay there. I saw tulip blooms with two tones. As for the Philippines, the usual available colors come in white, yellow and pink. Tulips are wonderful painting subjects. The shapes are basic yet their presence can easily be seen. I plan to paint more of them in the future.
