In Full Bloom

12x12 gouache paints on Masters premium 140 lb watercolor paper completed over the past several days, clay pots of geraniums and violets lined up in a sunny spot. In this floral garden still life I tried to show sunlight upon green leaves with just a few yellow daffodils in the background. I really like the texture of the aged pots showing white residue caused by mineral salts or fertilizers. COPYRIGHT 2020 Kay Smith

Garden Party Geraniums WIP

15x22 watercolor work in progress (WIP) on Lanaquarelle 140 lb hot press paper begun today, patterned after an earlier work I did in 2009 that should be visible in the blog sidebar, Geraniums Garden Party.  That work sold quickly and I've had multiple requests for prints on Artspan, but the photo was not high resolution enough.  Hopefully, this floral still life will turn out all right.  Stay tuned for the next stage of the work.
