Latest Paintings by Ellen   Watercolor or gouache, on paper, indoor painting or outdoors, I have been painting up a storm! I'm looking forward to working with new colors, shapes and topics. I bought a new book on outdoor painting, for the Spring. You can see my work so far at yellowdotshop.com. Ellen Hamilton See Original Art Here January and February Projects I have only a few more outdoor markets to go!

I have been watercolor painting! My latest project has been a juxtaposition of shapes. This is Alexandria's new refurbished merchant ship, Tall Ship Providence, sailing towards the amazing Wilson Bridge. The bridge itself is a wonder in concrete.

Then on rewatching my work last year, I decided to finish up just the first half of the movie, a manageable bite of the work. This turned into six more months of finalizing illustrations and animations. I have heard how important the sound is to a film. So I decided to hire an excellent audio company to make music...
