Bestselling painting of Siena
Italy street with church and roofs that I have painted in watercolor has a new exciting trip to Europe now. I've sold prints of Siena hundreds of times in the past; and now, this bestselling artwork was noticed by a new customer in Norway . I was asked if they could purchase this artwork for their new clothing line designs.
This is super great news for me as an artist. I will definitely later on elaborate on the company name and will show a few designs by them.
Right now, I cannot travel a lot; but, it seems my art is certainly travel more than I do.

I would like to share here what kind of paintings from my website www.artirina.com were selling this month. It was wonderful to realize that there were some distinguished themes from customers of different locations that loved purchasing artworks.
The girl and the ocean painting long time is my very favorite bestseller. Many art collectors, including the one from Ottawa, IL that purchased large print in September enjoying this artwork in their homes.
Local customer from Martinez, CA decided to purchase my painting of Martinez Marina Bridge. It was so nice to imagine that this artwork will be hanging in the same town that it was painted
International customer from Glasgow purchased romantic landscape with Golden Gate Bridge and Two Love Birds:
Another International Art Collector from Quebec, QC, Canada purchased fresh and colorful still life with Rhubarb for the kitchen decor:
It looks so nice in a white wooden frame.
Other customers ( from Burleson, TX; Hermitage, TN; San Francisco, CA; Floyds Knobs, IN; and from Aurora, CO) were mostly interested in the landscapes and seascapes for their home interior decor:

A while ago I wrote about an exiting endeavor with licensing of my art ( Art Licensing , Art Licensing Journey blog posts) and today I am happy to share the winners of the last two Quarters. The most sold landscapes were the ones that are also on my website www.artirina.com are the bestsellers:
Carmel By The Sea watercolor painting
&
Golden Gate Bridge
San Francisco watercolor painting
I believe that the customers like Carmel By The Sea landscape for its fearless brush strokes. I painted that artwork on the spot, L' Plein-air style, and I think the fresh ocean breeze and Nature changing pattern that day reflected quite well in this painting.
Another painting, San Francisco
Golden Gate Bridge , was actually painted in my art studio from the photograph that my customer presented. This painting is quite different from the one above. It has lots of details and careful brush strokes, that obviously appreciated by so many customers of mine these days.
I love when my art finds good homes and brings joy to the art collectors throughout the country and the world.

It is a good time to mention bestselling art of this quarter. I will just mention here a few of them, that truly became best of the sellers from my art world collection of watercolor.
Above painting of Stockholm was purchased by an art collector, surprise, surprise, from Sweden. I am so happy that this painting print, which is already one of my bestsellers since 2010 now will decorate a house in Uddevalla, Sweden .
Another bestselling watercolor that I want to point out and I am not surprised that it was precisely in the fist quarter, the
Water Lilies
that I painted one day being inspired by Claude Monet .. And surprising enough, the museum Legion Of Honor was hosting the Monet exhibition this year. I loved visiting this exhibit with its bestselling art two times this year. And here are my Water Lilies bestseller, mine are painted with watercolor on a special watercolor canvas:
These watercolor lilies traveled to Clayton, MO to decorate my art collector's house.
The Art Collector from Californian town Torrance, decided to purchase White Oleander painting of mine in a beautiful gray frame. Here is this bestseller in all its beauty:
And I was not surprised that my bestselling Italian painting with ancient town of Siena , was purchased this quarter as well. By the way, the second quarter of this year I am planning to visit this town for business and will paint many more beautiful paintings of its churches, streets, flowers that most likely are keen to become bestsellers of the following year :) . I love Italy , and even devoted a Gallery to this country, this gallery now has more than 100 paintings.
I am so happy that my travels help my art collectors bringing the art with beautiful places around the world into their home interior. As a good example this bestselling artwork with the view of Golden Gate Bridge through Lincoln Golf Park (the 17th Hole) which is so loved by my customers. This time art collector from Fairfield, California purchased this art for the home decor:
Another bestseller from my
Travel Collection
went to one International customer from Malta. This art collector was interested in a Russian Cathedral , the Blood Cathedral from Saint Petersburg (the city where are was born):
And needless to say, my bestselling art pieces were also printed not only on canvases, paper, metal prints, and framed artworks; but as well on different merchandise.
Such for example bestselling watercolor with dancing Ballerina was loved by the art collector from El Segundo, CA and purchased on a few blue pillows for living room decor:
Another International customer from Australia (Tarragindi, QLD) wanted to have my Baby Room
bestseller on the cellphone cover . Ah, the ideas of the art on merchandise are truly endless, aren't they!!
What a great artful year I am having!!! I am so glad that so many art collectors (I've not even mentioned all due to the length of the article here) wanted to purchase my art from:

This year
Travel Around The World
series is growing. And today I want to invite my Followers and Art Collectors to Egypt.
While I was painting this watercolor artwork of Giza Pyramids and Sphinx I placed in the painting a cute animal, a camel, to emphasize the ancient world of historical monuments with alive tree and hard working animal of this contemporary world.
The Giza Pyramid Complex, another name for them the Giza Necropolis, is the site on the Giza Plateau in Greater Cairo, Egypt. This complex includes the Great Pyramid of Giza, the Pyramid of Khafre, and the Pyramid of Menkaure. It also has the Great Sphinx of Giza. These monuments were built during the Fourth Dynasty of the Old Kingdom of Ancient Egypt.
The Great Pyramid and the Pyramid of Khafre are the largest pyramids built in ancient Egypt, and they historically became the emblems of Ancient Egypt in the Western mind. They were promoted in Hellenistic times as one of the Seven Wonders of the World.
Here's Some Facts and Pointers for Sphinx Of Giza Mystery:
•
The Great Sphinx of Giza is an enormous limestone statue of a reclining sphinx
•
A sphinx is a mythical creature with the body of a lion and the head of a human
•
It faces directly from West to East and stands on the Giza Plateau in Egypt, near the Great Pyramid of Giza
•
The Sphinx was cut from bedrock and measures 73 metres (240 feet) long from paw to tail
•
It's 20 meters (66 feet) high and 19 metres (62 feet) wide
•
Archaeologists are still unclear about exactly when it was built, who built it and why
•
Some claim it was built for the Pharaoh Khafra, who was the son of Khufu
•
There is evidence that it was excavated on several occasions in ancient times, including as far back as 1400 BC

I love painting Blue Roofs and Dome of Santorini Island. The small village Oia is amazingly cute and snug; the roofs remind me the color of the sea and sky at the same time.
This watercolor painting is the part of my Travel Around The World Collection.
Here is a little bit of history:
Santorini is the largest island of a small, circular archipelago, which bears the same name and is the remnant of a volcanic caldera. The island was the site of one of the largest volcanic eruptions in recorded history, which occurred about 3,600 years ago at the height of the Minoan civilization. The eruption left a large caldera surrounded by volcanic ash deposits hundreds of meters deep.
It is the most active volcanic center in the South Aegean Volcanic Arc. The region first became volcanically active around 3-4 million years ago.
Little town Oia has around 1600 inhabitants. Oia was previously known as Apäno Meria ("upper side. The Ancient Greek Oia was one of the two harbors of ancient Thera and was located in the southeast of the island, where Kamari is now. Oia reached the peak of prosperity in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Its economic prosperity was based on its merchant fleet, which plied trade in the Eastern Mediterranean, especially from Alexandria to Russia. The two-story captains' houses built on the highest part of the village are a reminder of the village's former affluence. Part of the town was destroyed by the 1956 earthquake.
The town is noted for its white and blue domed houses. The houses are painted in white lime water so that the rainwater which falls over it runs down and can be collected. The other reason for painting the houses white is for aesthetic purposes. The other explanation given is that during the Ottoman rule of Greece, which lasted for over 400 years, Greeks were not allowed to fly their white flag. In defiance, in Oia they painted their entire housing complex in white with domes giving the village an effective white perspective and elegance. Impressive houses in the town are those "cliff houses" built in the niches carved into the caldera slopes with provision of air-filled pumice which provides insulation benefits to the building, keeping it warm in winter and cool in summer.

When I painted this watercolor artwork of Faro de Cullera Lighthouse , I was amazed how beautifully the citizens of Valencia, Spain; kept this historical monument.
This watercolor painting is the part of my Travel Around The World series, where I invite my followers to visit places on Earth where they can or cannot be physically; yet, still appreciate the beauty of the World.
Lighthouse Faro de Cullera was built in 1858 on the Punta de Faro tip of Cabo de Cullera, and it’s between Playa del Racó and Playa del Dosser. It is one of seven lighthouses of the Valencian coast that continues to remain occupied and function. Faro de Cullera is one of the leading lighthouses of the town of Valencia. This beautiful lighthouse is located in an astonishing and charming setting, at the edge of the cliff, surrounded by lovely beaches. Its circular building with a slightly conical tower is sixteen meters high made of white ashlar, surmounted by an iron railing, rising on a further round building. It is definitely a beautiful sight to see the white gorgeous building against deep blue Balearic Sea. An interesting historical fact that earlier, the light of the lighthouse came from a lamp of olive oil, then it was changed to a paraffin one and by 1901 to an oil one. It would not be until 1931 when electricity arrived at the Faro.
Around The World Travel Gallery became very popular in the last year, I've sold many artworks with famous places and I am glad that my followers and art appreciators are adding my art to their home collections.

Cologne Germany has this beautiful colorful buildings that are located near Great St Martine Church.
I painted this watercolor artwork including a little cafe with cute pink bicycle and a fountain that tell the story of a cozy summer day in a big city where people can feel relaxed, watch running waters, enjoy the beauty and color, and have a cup of coffee or tea planning their next travel destination.

In the days of uncertainty and chaos it is hard sometimes to stay calm and happy.
Art makes me happy.
I've created this artwork and named it
Solitude & Serenity . I wanted to use warm colors for this semi-abstract lake, placing a single, maybe lonely, boat. I was certainly hoping to make this quiet place and this boat to be tranquil, inviting the viewer to stop for a moment, take a deep breath; and, perhaps to think more positively.

Leaves .
The beauty of the leaves shapes and colors is endless. And they looks so great and fresh in the interior decor:
But thinking of these leaves, a monochrome pattern can also be amazing, isn't it. Take for example blue. It applies great into minimalist style interior decor of a living room:
And meantime, it is looking sweet and organic on different merchandise items such clothes, mugs, bags, pillows, etc :

When I painted this watercolor artwork I thought about the solitude but not for one, for two people, and some wonderful relaxing times. These two white chairs on the shore invite the viewer to be part of the scenery, bring a friend and enjoy the sea view on the beach.
This scene is on the island of Sardinia, in Italy. But it can be anywhere in the World, where there a breeze, water, mountains, and nobody around but two good friends relax, have a good conversation, melt under the warm sun, absorb the beauty of the Nature.
Thanks to the World Wide Web, here is a historical information and interesting facts about Sardinia:
Sardinia is the second-largest island in the Mediterranean Sea, after Sicily, and one of the 20 regions of Italy. It is located west of the Italian Peninsula, north of Tunisia and immediately south of the French island of Corsica.
It is one of the five Italian regions that have been granted some degree of domestic autonomy by special statute. Its official name is Regione Autonoma della Sardegna (Sardinian: Regione Autònoma de Sardigna; English: "Autonomous Region of Sardinia"). It is divided into four provinces and a metropolitan city. The capital of the region of Sardinia — and its largest city — is Cagliari. Sardinia's indigenous language and the other minority languages spoken on the island (Sassarese, Gallurese, Algherese Catalan and Ligurian Tabarchino) are officially recognized by the regional law as having "equal dignity" with Italian.
Sardinia has been inhabited since the Paleolithic. The island's most iconic civilization is the indigenous Nuragic, which flourished from the 18th century BC to either 238 BC or the 2nd century AD in some parts of the island, and to the 6th century AD in that part of the island known as Barbagia. After a period in which the island was ruled by a political and economic alliance between the Nuragic Sardinians and the Phoenicians, parts of it were conquered — by Carthage in the late 6th century BC — and by Rome in 238 BC. The Roman occupation lasted for 700 years. Beginning in the Early Middle Ages, the island was ruled by the Vandals and the Byzantines. In practice, the island was disconnected from the scope of Byzantium's territorial influence, so the Sardinians provided themselves with a self-ruling political organization, which led to the formation of the kingdoms known as the four Judicates. The Italian maritime republics of Pisa and Genoa struggled to impose political control over these indigenous kingdoms, but it was the Iberian Crown of Aragon which, in 1324, succeeded in bringing the island under its control, consolidating into the Kingdom of Sardinia. This Iberian kingdom endured until 1718, when it was ceded to the House of Savoy and later politically merged with the other Savoyard domains on the Italian Mainland. Later, during the period of Italian unification, the Savoyards expanded their territory to include the entire Italian peninsula. They renamed their territory the Kingdom of Italy in 1861, and it was reconstituted as the present-day Italian Republic in 1946.
Due to the variety of Sardinia's ecosystems, which include mountains, woods, plains, stretches of largely uninhabited territory, streams, rocky coasts, and long sandy beaches, Sardinia has been metaphorically described as a micro-continent. In the modern era, many travelers and writers have extolled the beauty of its long-untouched landscapes, which retain vestiges of the Nuragic civilization.

Beautiful Aurora Borealis lights were always mystery for me as a watercolor artist, I wanted to paint them for a long time, but really wasn't sure how the light of the colorful Aurora will look against a dark northern skies. With several washes of wet on wet technique I've achieved quite successful results; and, when I painted the firsts landscape with
Aurora Borealis , I moved to the next and the next one.
Watercolors turned out is a great medium to point the beauty of still mystical and magical for me as a person, Aurora Borealis Lights.

As a part of my
Travel Around The World
series I want to invite my art collectors to some Northern part of the World.
Watercolor painting landscape with snowy mountains of Alaska is above. The mountains are so grand and monumental in all their beauty. The solitude, peace and serenity comes to my mind when I look at this watercolor landscape.
And here is a little different scene. In this painting, besides the cold and solid mountains on the back, we see cute cozy and warm houses of Northern country Greenland. I love this little community, where people know what hardship of a tough weather can be yet still appreciate living in this area:
And another Northern country scene that I've recently painted is a famous Blue Lagoon in Iceland:
Here is quite interesting story about Blue Lagoon creation:
What is curious is that the Blue Lagoon is not a natural phenomenon. Iceland is a country brimming with natural hot springs, but the Blue Lagoon incidentally is not one of them as it turned out to be. The Blue Lagoon history dates back to 1976 and is formed next to the geothermal power plant. The lagoon was created by the excess water from the power plant, that is drilling for steam and hot water. The runoff is filtered straight into the Blue Lagoon, which is what heats the water. This "accidental" paradise is now attracting hundreds of people from all over the World to visit, enjoy warm waters, crisp air, and peaceful beauty of Iceland. The waters of Blue Lagoon are clean and safe. It does not contain any chemicals, only natural minerals that have proven to be very good for people’s skin.

I've sold prints of Positano dozens of times in the past; and now, this bestselling artwork was noticed by a new customer in Norway . I was asked if they could purchase this artwork for their new clothing line designs.
This is super great news for me as an artist. I will definitely later on elaborate on the company name and will show a few designs by them.
Right now, I cannot travel a lot; but, it seems my art is certainly travel more than I do.
Around The World Travel Gallery became very popular in the last year, I've sold many artworks with famous places and I am glad that my followers and art appreciators are adding my art to their home collections.

Art by Irina Sztukowski. Bestselling art pieces from http://www.artirina.com/
Last month of sales was predictably successful. After all, many people were buying gifts for friends and family. And, I am so happy to admit that many of them were focusing on buying artworks as gifts and home interior decor.
But I was also up to a little surprise there. Some of the clients bought many pieces, such for example merchandise, with my art on them.
Here are just a few of them.
