Dark & Dressy Daffodils

11x15 watercolor on Kilimanjaro 140 lb cold press paper drawn yesterday and painted today partly wet in wet and wet on dry.  These white dressy beauties are blooming all over the place and with today's rain we may see more.

Spring Fever

22x15 watercolor floral still life.  A lightly spritzed background of primary colors was done first, and the negative spaces are brightly colored sections around the daffodils and pots. Paper is Saunders 140 lb cold press; Daniel Smith paints.  I painted this one first then did a demo from it.  My daffodil photo was taken in a mall with a sliding metal mesh gate behind, and I used their rectangle areas as color blocks.
