Dreamy Coneflower

6x9 watercolor on Fabriano 140 lb cold press paper done last week on a day I felt like throwing paint around and not drawing or staying in the lines.  So this semblance of a pink coneflower emerged and when dry it was splattered with two warm hues of pink and vermilion.

Display of White Tulips

15x11 watercolor on Bienfang 140 lb cold press paper just completed in a return to floral still life subjects and especially white items to paint.  It is a more loose interpretation with an abstract background; I even sneaked in a hot fuchsia bloom or two in the back.

Peace Rose Petals

12x6 watercolor on Strathmore 140 lb cold press paper begun yesterday and finished today.  No pencil drawing or use of a reference was used.  I was thinking of peace roses as some had bloomed last week at my studio.

Pink Hollyhock Garden

15x11 watercolor painted wet into wet on Saunders 140 lb cold press paper, a very loose interpretation of my own pale pink hollyhocks.  With darks put in first, midtones were next, followed by lightest lights and/or white of the paper with this one application direct painting method.  Hollyhocks are one of my favorite flowering old fashioned plants. This work is SOLD.
