Cecilia Dietrich - Serenity, Oil on 40x60cm canvas, Aug 2021
Hi fellow artists!
This is an oil painting that I've created last year. I started in spring when I was truly inspired by all of these beautiful colours and scents that nature offers during this time.
It took me quite a while to complete it because at some point I just couldn't figure out how it should evolve. I was constantly looking for ideas, really excited to find it out but then also frustrated because I got stuck.
After having some distance from it for multiple weeks, I tried to get new insights by sketching a new version and then finally I knew how to continue.
I love looking at the colours, it feels really soothing and healing to me. Watching it is so relaxing, it's like I'm taking a looong break! 🌸
What do you feel by looking at it?
Wish you all a wonderful weekend! 💛
Here are a few pictures of the painting process. I'm always fascinated by the transformation the painting is going through.

That is such a gorgeous and idyllic painting! Amazing work @ceciliad.art :-)
Thank you very much @d-pend, I appreciate your words and you being here! 🙏
So interesting to see this process. This is a very beautiful painting. There is a very special place in india called serenity.
Thank you so much @yangyanje, I greatly appreciate your words and also your tip! 🙏💗 That's awesome, I didn't know that a place called serenity exists. I hope it's peaceful there. 😀
I loved your painting, the incredible details and colors make it a beautiful work of art to see 😄
Thank you very much @afa.hb03, I'm happy that you like it and that the details as well as the colours speak to you. 😊
Hello @ceciliad.art, It is a very beautiful painting, I like it very much. I agree with you, it is a work that inspires a lot of tranquility and peace. I love the tree and the color you selected for its leaves. Simply beautiful ✌️
Thanks a lot @jamm42, I appreciate your words. I'm glad to hear that it feels calm and peaceful to you and that you like the tree and its colour. At some point I thought the leaves are a bit too colourful, but I think it is well integrated within the painting as the sky is rich in colours as well. 😊
Beautiful, I love the colors and the peaceful scene 😻
Thank you so much @paolazun, I appreciate! 😊🙏
The level of detail attracts me a lot, your painting makes me look at it for a long time 👌🏻😁
Aww, I'm happy to hear that, thank you so much @noctav! 🌸
Hehehe you're welcome!, I hope you continue like this and have a great day ❤️❤️❤️
This is quite beautiful for a number of reasons. I think the grass really made the whole thing pop out. I think you have done an excellent job. I especially like the floating land in the sea of clouds. Very cool piece all the way around. The stones look really cool too. I love this painting. Keep up the great work and thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much @castleberry, I truly appreciate your words and you having a look at it! 🌷 I think so too that the grass made a big difference, it adds crisp details in the foreground in contrast to the fluffy clouds and calm sky.
I completely and absolutely agree! Looking forward to seeing more. =)
