Dreamy Creamy Poinsettia

11x15 watercolor on Strathmore 140 lb cold press paper just completed, a floral in time for the holidays and dreaming of Christmas past and present. An underpainting using various mixtures of pale yellow gold, hints of lilac, and shades of pink orange can be seen within this composition. Poinsettia is a classic example of bract(s), modified leaves with a flower or cluster of flowers in its axil. COPYRIGHT 2022 Kay Smith
