Blue Mist

Watercolor Landscape by Janis Goldblatt measuring 6x8.5 image, 10x13 frame.

This painting came to me several evenings ago when I could not sleep. 

 

I used a very limited palette of cobalt blue, indigo and avignon orange.  Comprised mainly of 3 values with a lose rendering of shapes, allows  the viewer to fill-in "details" and appreciate a "mood".  The simplicity helps to make this painting "work".

I long to be by the water.

TRIO

 

Original watercolor abstract by Janis Goldblatt

Little spheres of  light and color with a "let's party" attitude were fun to create!

ATC Winter Series I

Here is another of my ATC winter series original watercolor landscapes.  I wanted to back light the evergreens and let them melt into the horizon while illuminating the snowfield and capturing a hint of cast shadows from the forground grasses and bush.

Winter Series ATC's

Original watercolor landscapes by Janis Goldblatt. 

I created a series of ATC's last spring after we had a late winter/early spring snowfall.  ATC stands for artist trading card and the group of watercolorists that I paint with  had an Artist Trading Card get together.  After a delightful morning of painting, we traded cards with one another.  There were about 11 of us, and these are just four of the over 15 cards I created.  They measure 2.5x3.5 and it is a great way to shre each other's work with one another while adding to our personal art collections!

Evergreens and Lake Cabin on a Foggy Morning

Watercolor Landscape by Janis Goldblatt - measures 5x7 image, 8x10 framed.

Years ago I traveled to Nova Scotia, and was allured by the water, mist, buildings and rugged lifestyle. Recently, I revisted a black and white photo that I took, was inspired to paint, and added color and atmosphere. 
This is one of three paintings that has been juried into the Mountainside Miniature Show at Foothills Art Center.

Outdoor Steps II

Outdoor Steps II - watercolor landscape on yupo by Janis Goldblatt measuring 19 x 12.5,image.  This painting was inspired by the Opera House in Central City, Colorado.  Yupo is a very unique surface that does not absorb water and pigment; rather the pigment-mixture (puddles of water) "sit" on the surface; the water evaporates and the pigment adheres to the surface, resulting in brilliant, pure color which produces a different effect.

To purchase, contact Janis at Janis@JanisGoldblatt.com

High Country Lake Scene

Sold.  This painting, which has been juried into several exhibits this past year, recently sold at The Foothills Art Center in Golden, Colorado.  I will donate a portion of the proceeds to the Rist Canyon Fire department.  The beautiful Colorado landscape along the Poudre River and unfortunately, in other areas of Colorado, will never be the same.  Hundreds of homes have been destroyed and thousands of families have been evacuated.  Let us all be generous in our efforts to provide support, however we may be able to do so!

Floral in Blue Vase

Miniature watercolor Floral on Yupo by Janis Goldblatt measuring 4x4.  Yupo is a synthetic surface upon which the watercolor paint sits rather than absorbing into the "paper".  The water evaporates, leaving pigment.  The painting is then treated with an archival varnish spray to preserve the colors.

Poppy Miniature

Original watercolor floral by Janis Goldblatt, measures 2.5x3.5.  These miniatures often called ATC's or ACEO's are fun to do and make wonderful gifts or original unique cards suitable for framing.  I have done hundreds of them over the years.  Art collectors seem to treasure the small intimate nature of "miniatures".  I'll post some more over time, and hope you enjoy viewing as much as I enjoy creating them!

Cobb Lake (on yupo)

Original watercolor landscape on yupo measuring 9x12 image, 14x18 framed. This is a loose rendition of one of my favorite wildlife areas, where I love to walk and run and watch my golden retrievers frolic, swim, and retrieve bumpers! I am inspired to do a series of watercolors on yupo, working larger, more free , and even more abstractly. I'll also post a smaller pen and ink with watercolor wash of Cobb Lk, which will illustrate a difference in terms of approach, mood, & effect.
