St. Ives Callas

15x22 watercolor of white calla lilies I photographed when staying in St. Ives.  This is on 140 lb cold press paper.  I made the background very colorful with detail as the flowers are large and plain.

Calla Charm

14x10 watercolor on Kilimanjaro block 140 lb cold press paper.  A lone white bloom beckons the gardener to get busy planting more lovelies.  This realistic lily is one of my featured watercolors in our Caboose group's upcoming show Nov. 18 - Jan 12, 2018 in Breckenridge, TX.  Reception is Nov. 18 @ 5 p.m. at the arts center there.

Stately Callas

14.75x8.5 watercolor on partially gessoed matboard painted while on vacation recently.  This floral still life of stately calla lilies in a glass vase is one of our monthly challenge images on my Watermedia forum of WetCanvas; photo courtesy morguefile.  I liked the stone wall and the very dark opening behind the white lilies and the wooden table texture the glass sits upon.
