With Valentine’s Day right around the corner, it can be hard to decide on the perfect gift. Whether you’re considering beautiful apparel or original landscape watercolors to give to that special someone, Elizabeth Covington offers a wide array of timeless and elegant gift options hand-crafted by an experienced, award- winning artist.
Covington’s landscapes make full use of the medium of watercolor and maximize its potential to create luminous pieces packed to the brim with the emotion. For example, Covington’s “Moonlit Tree,” inspired by a trip to a Moscow museum where the artist saw the works of Alexander Puskin, sets a deep, pensive mood with its gorgeous blues and greens.
For those in the market for warmer colors, consider the bright and sunny “Springtime,” a piece inspired by happy memories of blossoming cherry trees.
