Christy's Zinnias

15x22 watercolor of my dear sister-in-law Christy Smith's zinnias, painted from photos awhile back.  I loved her vividly colored summer annuals and could not wait to draw and paint them in a much larger format.  She follows this blog so hope she will remember the flowers and the painting.
