# Art De Rio > Art by Alex "Rio" Rodriguez ## Posts - [Midnight by the Lake](https://rodspace.com/midnight-by-the-lake/): Midnight by the Lake Watercolor painting by Alex ‘Rio’ Rodríguez Painted on October 17, 2025 For a while, I’ve been thinking about trying a watercolor painting. Recently I discovered a wonderful teacher online – Javid Watercolor. He creates these beautiful and vibrant images and he is pretty fast which I love because of my short attention span. I created this image based on his tutorial on Patreon. If you want to learn how to paint in watercolors, I find his tutorials easy to understand and follow. Of course, I had to go out and purchased some more pigment. Which is […] - [Tree of Hope](https://rodspace.com/tree-of-hope/): Tree of Hope Acrylic painting by Alex “Rio” Rodríguez Painted on June 3, 2025 I love walking in parks and especially hiking in National Parks (NP). I’ve been to Joshua Tree NP, Shenandoah NP, Acadia National Park and the Grand Canyon. At the start of June of 2025, I was planning on starting a commission and I just couldn’t start the painting. For some reason, I figured it wasn’t going to come out the way I wanted. And so I went looking for inspiration from my online teachers and found a tutorial for this painting by Joni Young. This image […] - [Old Fishing Boat Returning Home to Casa](https://rodspace.com/old-fishing-boat-returning-home-to-casa/): Old Fishing Boat Returning Home to Casa Acrylic painting by Alex “Rio” Rodríguez Painted on October 4, 2024 While visiting my mom on August of 2024 shortly after her 79th birthday. She had a beautiful painting on her bedroom wall of a beach looking past a gate almost like the viewer was entering the beach from an access road. I noticed that she had taped a photo of a palm tree that was cut out of a magazine to the scene. I asked her, “mom, why did you add a palm tree to this painting?” She explained that she had […] - [Healing on the other side](https://rodspace.com/healing-on-the-other-side/): Healing on the Other Side   Acrylic painting by Alex “Rio” Rodríguez Painted on May 17, 2025 I am fortunate enough to support some amazing artists and teachers on YouTube and Patreon. One of these artists is Joni Young. She is a wonderful teacher and has kindly given permission to sell any paintings that her students create from her tutorials. This image of a beautiful forest in green and blue with a mist in the distance made me think of so many beautiful parks that I’ve visited in the USA. When I look at this painting, I feel such a […] - [Rebelle 8 to release Q3 2025](https://rodspace.com/rebelle-8-to-release-q3-2025/): I’ve been painting with acrylics for almost a year and have loved discovering this new creative outlet. Prior to starting with acrylics, I’ve spent most of the last few years drawing in pencil and even tried sketching on my iPad. Recently I purchased an intuos drawing tablet and have been looking for a painting software to use on my Mac so I can explore digital painting. I’ve been reading about Rebelle, a digital painting software, for Mac and Windows and am excited to explore this app on my Mac. I’ve read that it can do some incredible things with the […] - [Brookly Bridge](https://rodspace.com/journey/): Brookly Bridge – Acrylic painting by Alexander “Rio” Rodríguez Painted on February 3, 2025 My daughter Genni asked my wife if I could paint a city scape for her. The answer she got was something like, “I don’t think so, he only paints seascapes and islands and boats…” When I heard this, I figured I would try and paint a city scape and this turned into painting my ‘brookly bridge’. Thanks to Genni and Evy for the inspiration. Oh, she did wind up getting a painting but I kept this one and hung it in my office. She got a […] ## Pages - [Privacy](https://rodspace.com/privacy/) - [Event](https://rodspace.com/event/) - [Events](https://rodspace.com/events/) - [Contact](https://rodspace.com/contact/) - [Blog](https://rodspace.com/blog/) - [Shop](https://rodspace.com/shop-2/) - [Home](https://rodspace.com/) - [Terms and Conditions](https://rodspace.com/terms-and-conditions/): Your terms and conditions content here. - [My account](https://rodspace.com/my-account/) - [Checkout](https://rodspace.com/checkout/) - [Cart](https://rodspace.com/cart/) - [Shop](https://rodspace.com/shop/) - [Bio](https://rodspace.com/bio/) - [Privacy Policy](https://rodspace.com/privacy-policy/): Who we are This web site was created by and is maintained by Alex Rodriguez.
