Purple Anemones
Purple Anemones, painted in watercolors, of course. I love watercolors with lots of crisp white background. I call them "vignettes". Sometimes I feel like a background would just ruin the freshness of a watercolor - so I don't paint a background at all.

Floral Watercolor Painting
I've been experimenting with Yupo watercolor paper. It's so different, and so slippery. I'm discovering I can't erase on Yupo, or it leaves areas that resists paint. I'm not sure whether I love it or hate it yet! If you'd like to see more, please visit my blog at http://paintinginwatercolor.blogspot.com Monday, October 3, 2011

Patio Flowers
This is a preliminary study that I painted - a warm-up, kind of, for a larger flower market painting that I'd like to do. Always wanted to paint a French flower market scene. So many ideas, so little time. It's also inspired by my love for potted chrysanthemums. The pink is one of my favorite pinks: Sennellier Carmine.Please visit my blog when you have time: http://paintinginwatercolor.blogspot.com

Red Orchid
6.8 x 10 inches, watercolor, 2011.
I was itching to do some painting today after spending the last couple of days on pen and marker illustrations. I went to the gardens at RHS Wisley last weekend. They have a wonderful glasshouse there, and I took lots of photos of the gorgeous orchids they have on display. One of them provided the subject for this painting of these beautiful red flowers against a turquoise background.
