Spring Cosmos

4x6 watercolor on Canson 140 lb cold press paper that is yesterday's work drawn from life.  Again I used a silk cosmos floral bouquet blooms of white, dark pink, pink, and maroon red.  Unlike the previous one Early Spring Cosmos, the background was painted first.

Early Spring Cosmos

6x4 watercolor on 140 lb cold press Canson paper painted yesterday.  Drawn from life using silk cosmos these blooms herald an early spring.  Shades of pinks, dark maroon, and white grace the fragile petals as they sway in an imaginary wind.

Pink Anemones Windflowers

9x12 watercolor drawn with my brush (no pencil) of fresh anemone blooms, commonly known as windflowers.  This grouping was painted with Daniel Smith pigments on 140 lb Canson cold press paper and finished yesterday.  A new color, Blue Bice, by American Journey and sold by Cheap Joe's Art Stuff, is the soft turquoise seen in the background of this imaginary garden scene.
