Maja Wronska
These are the colorful, rich, wonderfully architectural watercolors by Polish painter Maja Wronska. While it’s no secret that I’m in love with all things architecture, and certainly, her compositions are flawless, it’s really her unexpected angles that caught and kept my attention. It’s like they’re painted from unexpectedly good snapshots taken by tourists.
I like how the buildings are clearly the stars of the show and most of the people are left unpainted so they recede. The effect gives lovely depth to Wronska’s already incredibly detailed and skilled paintings.
Her work is available in a number of intriguing formats – not just prints, but also phone cases, tote bags, even shower curtains and towels. They can be purchased on Society6.

Wow! I am so impressed by the precision of her painting. Watercolour can be quite tricky to handle at times but I love and admire her precision and the way she has kept the clean negative spaces to define the shapes and angles in her work. Love the way she handles the light too.

She’s really a genius about what to leave out. I have never really explored watercolors, but I think I’d be terrible at it.

You might surprise yourself if you tried. I tend to use them in a less painterly way, as in I colour in my illustrations with them. That’s why I always admire those who can paint with them in a controlled way.

That sounds like big fun, but I think I found my future glass studio today. Bigger fish to fry!

I’m excited and a little scared. I found a place where I can get the basics, but then I also found the artist I need to apprentice when I have some idea what I’m doing: check out DonaldMooreStainedGlass.com the man is amazing. I told him it was a privilege to see his work and he looked at me like I was nuts.

Oh wow! I looked at the gallery on his website. His stuff is amazing and very varied. I love his stuff that makes me think of Charles Rennie Mackintosh and then his really contemporary stuff. You are going to be on an incredible journey. I hope you share your progress among your Beautiful Things.

I’m still a couple of years off from starting (lots needs to happen first. I’ll message you), but I am certainly incapable of keeping it to myself!

I love these, especially the paintings with a splash of color, like the winter scene and the ones with red umbrellas.

I think my fave is the big clock, but those red umbrellas are spectacular!
