Tri-County Pieces

 Hello! I have a few things to share---a few of my pieces made it into Tri-County this year, which is an art gallery/contest run by Wayne state. Here are the pieces that got in!


This is a picture inspired by my Swedish heritage and is my little sister playing with a horse, of course. This is going to be one of my AP Art Portfolio pieces! It's called Swedish Girl. 

This is called At Piece, and I will never forget seeing this dove perching on our balcony faning out her tail in the sun. I was lucky enough to get my camera out fast enough. 

This was a Mother's Day gift I gave my mom after I she returned home from a trip up north when the northern lights could be seen in Michigan. This one was not accepted to the gallery, but I like it, so I thought I would include it.

 Another AP Art piece for my portfolio! My friend is studying violin in college, and when she plays violin she lights up---I wanted to capture the energy and beauty she radiates when she plays her violin. She also has Italian heritage that she really connects with that I reflect in this painting. One little detail I really like are the big gold hoop earrings she is wearing---my friend almost always wears earrings just like that; it's a signature characteristic of hers :) Also, here's a little extra. You can tell by the hoop earring if nothing else that this is the same girl. This is a gift to my friend and her boyfriend because both of thir birthdays are within two week of each other in January. I really enjoyed painting two of my favorite people!  Like these? Find me at originalartbyem@gmail.com or ellamaries_art_lovelife  on Instagram   for more!

Seeing the nothern lights gave me this idea as a unique Mother's Day present with a little built in memory. I love doing these Great Lakes inspired landscapes because they really let the unique medium of watercolor shine.  Always eager for commissions! Reach me at  originalartbyem@gmail.com
