Spring Fever

22x15 watercolor floral still life.  A lightly spritzed background of primary colors was done first, and the negative spaces are brightly colored sections around the daffodils and pots. Paper is Saunders 140 lb cold press; Daniel Smith paints.  I painted this one first then did a demo from it.  My daffodil photo was taken in a mall with a sliding metal mesh gate behind, and I used their rectangle areas as color blocks.
