Ice on the Potomac

I am really enjoying the winter views up the Potomac. All gray and crisp


I like the patterns of the ice floating on the water

White cosmos in a Ball canning jar with blue background. I am easing my way back into working post surgery and I am enjoying the process. I have been working on a few watercolor pieces, only this one has taken and gotten finished, as recuperating has been my most important focus these past several days.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ One of the most enjoyable aspects of living a creative career is the opportunities to explore different mediums, and it has been so fun to play more with watercolor.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Stay tuned because the "From Garden to Vase" collection will become available to the public on Tuesday, September 10th at 12 noon EST! If you receive my newsletter you will get an early preview of the collection, signup with link in profile. As always, thank you! 😊⁠⠀ .⁣⠀⁠⠀ .⁣⠀⁠⠀ .⁣⠀⁠⠀ #elizabethfloyd #elizabethfloydart #elizabethfloydwatercolor #makearteveryday #makeart2019 #watercolor #thecreativehabit #everydaymoments #dahlias #gardenflowers #dahliawatercolor #floralart #fineart #painting #creative #artoftheday #blueandwhite⠀#frederickcarlfrieseke #easterntigerswallowtail #easterntigerswallowtailbutterfly #booksinpaintings #booksinart #victoriamagazine @victoriamagazine @teatimemagazine @flowermagazine
Please read on, small announcement below. 🌸 A vignette of our dining room with the #oilpainting “The Charm of Foxgloves”. I find everyday life is my biggest inspiration and taking time to observe the details of objects an remembering the beauty found at home never stops to amaze me.⁠⠀ 😊🌸🎨⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ Dear all, I am taking time off starting today. I am scheduled for oral surgery tomorrow, it is an outpatient procedure but it will take a bit of time to recuperate, and I am going to take care of myself by switching into hermit-mode for awhile. I am sorry that I will miss your beautiful posts and I won’t be responding to comments and messages. I may try to updated you as I can, and I am hoping to get back into the studio and creating as fast as I can. However I am definitely giving myself a two week break to focus on rest and recovery. If you know me in person, you know how difficult this might be 😉 Thank you for all your support and interest in my work.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ #southernliving #myhousebeautiful #housebeautiful #countrylivingmag #foxglovepainting #interiorforinspo #artinsitu #elizabethfloydart #elizabethfloydpainting #victoriamagazine ⁠⠀
The summer is coming to an end soon and this year I feel it is too short, so I have been thinking a lot about what summer means to me. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ For me, summer is about the heat and going to the pool. As a kid, I would look forward to my daily swim with great enthusiasm, something my daughter also anticipates. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ What does summer mean to you? I would love to know what comes to mind first when you think of summer and your childhood.⁠⠀ ⁠.⁠⠀ #makearteveryday #makeart2019 #dailysketch #sketchbook #watercolorsketch #thecreativehabit #elizabethfloyd #elizabethfloydart #doitfortheprocess #atthebeach #dreamingofsummerdays⁠⠀ ⁠⠀
I am inspired by the sky! Every now and then I will paint several skies in a row. In June while out in Washington state I completed several studies from life. With a storm rolling in! It was exciting and fun 😊. This is a grouping of paintings I completed in the studio, however I just decided to go back into them and rework them. Tweak some values and soften some edges. The creative process can really be a twisting road, but I love it. I love the pauses and time to think, I love how no matter the subject, I can still dive in and explore what I believe is beautiful, and what brings joy into my life. Also I hope it brings joy into your life too 😊⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Painting more clouds and skies is definitely in my future, maybe between my commitments to complete some portraits and some still life paintings. This is also another aspect of the creative process, the juggling that goes on so I can incorporate everything that inspires me to paint and share with you.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ #creativeprocess #doitfortheprocess #elizabethfloydart #elizabethfloydpainting #cloudscapes #oilpainting

#workinprogress #oilpainting of some beautiful trumpet vines! ⁠This is another painting of my new collection "From Garden to Vase", I am launching this collection online in September. Stay tuned for more information and sign up for my newsletter to get early access.⁠⠀ 🎺🌿⁠⠀ ⁠I love this time of year, when the highways and road sides are dotted with bright patches of green and orange. In Northern Virginia, trumpet vine is considered an invasive weed, but what a lovely one! Don't you think?⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Day 1 on this beauty, and Day 211 of 2019 Make Art Everyday⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ #makearteveryday #makeart2019 #oilpainting #paintingoftheday #thecreativehabit #elizabethfloyd #elizabethfloydart #doitfortheprocess #daffodils #springflowers #floralpainting #flowerpainting #paintingflowers #trumpetvine #indirectoilpainting #indirectpainting #fromgardentovase #gardentovase⁠⠀ ⁠⠀
