Calla Shadows

7.5x5.5 watercolor and Brusho on 140 lb Canson cold press paper done a few days ago from my many calla lily photos. I love the dramatic contrasts of the dark background against the white of the paper. Brusho was used on the stamen. COPYRIGHT 2022 Kay Smith

Calla Lily Cascade

22x15 watercolor and Brusho done last week, a cascade of white lilies surrounded by their dramatic dark leaves.  Brusho is easily seen throughout the entire piece; I used the green crystals that also include dots of yellow and orange, very beautiful.  This is my May floral for a WetCanvas contest online hosted by Christel; ref courtesy her friend Anita.

Geo Callas

5.5x20 watercolor on Yupo medium weight synthetic paper done today from a larger composition.  I took fake calla lilies and drew them then painted geometric lines over the background for an abstract look with a realistic subject.
