Glad about Glads - WIP finished

22x15 watercolor completed today after two more hours on this work in progress (WIP) from yesterday.  I really like how the multicolored gladiolus, bunched together in a single dark blue pot, are so vibrant and Spring-like.  We can be inspired anyway until Spring really does happen.  Paper is Italia acquerello 140 lb cold press sold by Dick Blick which is perfect for florals.
