Back to Florals with a Bouquet

15x11 watercolor on Strathmore 140 lb cold press paper, drawn and painted from a florist's bouquet. Its leaves are actually down inside a clear glass vase. This is only a detail of the actual arrangement.

Lovely splash of colour here Kay. I guess that the original painting is much brighter than your photo, as the background looks grey.

Dark sage green on the bottom of this painting and light fresh pink on a top balance this work of art greatly.
Thank you Kay. Lovely Roses.

Thanks Frank and Irina.
Yes, the original has a bright white background.

See if this is any better.
