Yellena James

This evening I came across the work of Yellena James, an artist who grew up in Sarajevo who now calls the Portland area home. I like the use of color and incorporation of organic elements in her work. Nature can be an endless source of inspiration.

A rose is a rose.

I did this watercolor yesterday not intending to do much more than put color on paper. With it I got the idea to try doing something everyday to push myself to make art a habit again. If I'm dedicated enough I could make it through the year. I'll just take it one day at a time. I hope you all come back to check up on the process! At the moment I don't have a scanner so in the meantime I'm resorting to taking photos of my work. One of these days I'll be able to get one but I won't let that stop the process.
