Garden Friends

10x7 watercolor on Langton 140 lb cold press paper of various garden items and freshly cut flowers in my old metal pail.  Due to little rain this spring we had hardly any flowers to look at.  Here I've added imaginary cosmos, poppies, larkspur, etc., all sitting on worn out wooden folding chair.  This work is now SOLD.

Basket Bouquet - Work in Progress

A work in progress (WIP) begun today using no photo, only drawing flowers from silk ones I have in the studio.  Size is 15x22 and this is watercolor on Kilimanjaro 140 lb cold press paper.  After painting so many autumn and winter scenes my eyes were yearning for a colorful floral.  I will add a background garden design and the basket will be sitting on green grass.  So far I drew calla lilies, roses, and tulips.
