Last of Spring Flowers

 Lilacs, water colour on Arches Aquarelle

Tulips, water colour on Arches Aquarelle

These are the last of my spring flower paintings.  Summer ones to follow, as well as some landscapes and figures in oil! 

Flowers, Flowers and More Flowers!!!

Thanks to Elizabeth Galante's magnificent flower selection!  The top painting is of a Proteus, a flower I had never seen before.   It is most extraordinary, what I would call a space flower!  All water colour on Arches Aquarelle.

Secret in My Pocket

Blooms x 3; 7 x 10 1/4" each; Water colour on Arches Aquarelle
Each flower  holds its own secret and might share its secret with you if you look at it long enough! 

Cutting Loose: More blooms, bigger paper

Blooms, both 15"x 24" Water colour on Strathmore paper

It was fun to work on slightly larger paper than usual.  It was also drawing paper, so it behaved a little differently with water colour paint, sitting on the surface rather than sinking in. I enjoyed just cutting loose with paint on paper, trying to capture a sense of the profusion of blooms and colour.
