Candy Stripers


22x30 watercolor on Saunders 140 lb cold press paper, Da Vinci and Daniel Smith paints, working wet in wet. Tulips, especially variegated, like these are my favorite flower.  A complementary color palette of reds and mixed greens is challenging to use as well.  Reds:  Alizarin crimson, Grumbacher red, perylene maroon, quinacridones: coral, magenta, violet, and permanent rose.  Other colors:  Arylide yellow, quinacridone gold, UB, Prussian blue.  This is an older work and is SOLD.

Woven Flowers of Passion

15x22 work is actually two identically painted scenes of pink roses in front of a house. The original was ho-hum boring so a few years late...
