Lilac Chair

22x15 watercolor on 140 lb cold press paper, Daniel Smith paints.  This is an older painting featuring a rather worn wooden chair with chipped paint stuck in the garden to hold plants.  I have painted other versions changing the direction and adding other flowers such as geraniums to the wire basket.  I painted this wet in wet and did negative painting on background and foreground.

Lilac Chair

22x15 watercolor of a lilac basket perched on an old pale blue wooden garden chair.  This is the second time I've painted the subject and have also done it twice using geraniums and a different chair.  Garden subjects are so much fun to paint and depict a carefree day.
