During the long weekend, I finally got my fingers in the dirt of my garden. I was reminded of all the beautiful gardens I've had in my life and it started me on another flower painting week...
Watercolour on paper 6x9
and because I was so successful at depicting the flower of my choice, I did a second, larger painting:
Watercolour on paper 9 x 11.5
And another one...
Watercolour on canvas paper 9 x 12
Can't wait until things are blooming & I can paint from life instead of memory.
Have a great weekend!
