Skyblue by Eva Marion

Welcome to my new shop – for original art! Doors are open! Finally ;-)
It took me a bit, but after getting more requests for original paintings lately, I decided to take the plunge and to open up an Etsy shop.

https://www.etsy.com/shop/SkyblueByEvaMarion

So this is "Skyblue"www.etsy.com/shop/SkyblueByEvaMarion – named after one of my fave watercolour hues.
In there you'll find my "classics":
- original watercolour paintings, landscapes and florals
- and handpulled prints of my aquatint etchings.

I hope you'll like it!


P.s.: For those who are super quick, here's an Etsy promo, still valid until tomorrow night:
Buy a gift. Get a gift.
Spend $50 on your first-ever order and get $10 towards your next one. Ends 12/12. 
Full details: etsy.me/welcomecredit
Happy shopping :-)

November Garden


The garden season comes to an end but there's still some beauty to discover. The reduced vegetation makes you notice the little things … I particularly love the various forms of seedpods and plant silhouettes that provide good inspiration for floral/ nature designs.


The spikey Lion's Tail stems look like spines, and sometimes like strings of pearls.


Delicate Bluebeard Seedheads. I love their soft colours against the greys and greens of the roof.


 Dramatic silhouettes and shadows of wild Yarrow.


Last Hyssop blossoms and seed umbels.



Two sweet guys that guard over our rooftop garden :-)


Our garden dragon can spit fire and is the work of my potter friend Baerbel.


 

This little forest scene was a fun discovery on the roof!
 

 
For the head gardener and his feline assistant it's time to sit in the sun, read a bit and just relax …



End of Season!
