11x15 watercolor on Strathmore 140 lb cold press paper painted from a
black & white photo (no color reference). First I spritzed limited
palette colors of arylide yellow, cobalt blue, and permanent rose on dry
paper. When that dried I then began pushing warm high key colors that
reminded me of sherbet. The plain ordinary carnation is my birthday
flower and it usually plays second fiddle to the rose or other more
stately varieties with reputations.

This is gorgeous. A perfect January flower. I love carnations. In Bolivia I would buy bunches of them and keep them all around the house. Happy flowers and long lasting in water. I was happy to see this this evening. :-)
