Cosmopolitan Cosmos

15x22 watercolor on 140 lb cold press paper, one of my early florals of a spray of mixed cosmos blooms.  I used a silk arrangement in a glass vase sold by a mail order company named Petals, who went out of business, but not before I was able to buy lots of their designs. I use the lifelike flowers to sketch from or paint.  This work is SOLD.
