Red Parrot Tulip Joy

3x3 miniature watercolor and Brusho watercolor crystals painted at the first of the month, using my imagination on 140 lb cold press paper leftover. COPYRIGHT 2021 Kay Smith

Flaming Parrot Tulip

15x22 watercolor on 140 lb Saunders cold press paper, a wet in wet approach to this lovely frilly open tulip from one of my photos.  With floral art I like to explore all angles and take unusual viewpoints when setting up the composition such as this macro view.

Lavender Purple Parrot Tulip redo

Here is a redo of most of the tulip posted last week and hope it reads better with more dark values added plus a widened stem and orange splatters.  Only minimal cerulean blue to background was glazed over by the stem area.  (15X22 watercolor on Saunders 300 lb CP)

Lavender Purple Tulip

For now this WIP is finished unless I decide to add more color.  As a high key imaginary floral it is not too bad.  15x22 watercolor on Saunders Waterford 300 lb cold press paper.
