Watercolor Cut-Outs

 Introducing... watercolor flower cut outs in my shop!


I took the small flower sketches I had made over the years from outings to gardens and my backyard, and cut them out! These are so cute to use on handmade cards or even collages or scrapbooks!

I grew up in Arizona - not the part with saguaro cactus- the high desert part. We had prickly pear cactus and yucca there and I never saw bright pink cactus either, but it's been fun to pretend that cactus could be this color! I have loved painting this small series of colorful cactus art! I'm inspired by warm colors right now - maybe it's because it's getting cold here in Utah :)

Photos of the Week

Ok, it's pretty much been forever since I posted any photography, but I wanted to share some today!  My flowers are like my children.  I'm always looking after them, making sure they get what they need.  Then I get to stand back and watch them flourish.  It's so satisfying to grow things!

Green Abstract Watercolor Landscapes

 Introducing......

New Abstract Landscapes!

Green Abstract Watercolor Landscapes by Elise Engh

I have loved every minute of painting these watercolor landscapes.  I normally don't do a lot of abstract work, but it was much needed at this time in my life and in this crazy year that we call 2020.  

Abstract painting has a way of calming me down and helping me feel peace.  I think it's the beauty of watching watery paints blend and mix on paper that really gets me to stop and just be in the moment and really appreciate the beauty of color and art.  I go to my art room at the end of a long day and create these green landscapes from my imagination.  They don't reference anywhere that I have actually been and I love that about them. They transport me to somewhere magical! It's such a peaceful wonderful feeling.  I will be creating more of these because I love the process of creating them so so much.
