Rose Renaissance

15x22 watercolor on Winsor Newton 140 lb cold press paper, painted wet into wet, of my studio roses in front of the south window.  My photo I used shows the purple shutters before they were painted pale green with pink trim.

Purple Bench

22x15 watercolor on Yupo synthetic paper done awhile ago that is the front of my studio.  The purple bench is in front and did have yellow window boxes behind.  Those boxes are gone now.  This sunny morning scene with geraniums, petunias, and bougainvilleas was an inviting sight.  The studio is still pale yellow but window trim is now hot pink and shutters are spring green. The bench was repainted a soft lavender purple; all that is missing is Jezebel the cat.

Purple Garden Bench

23 x 15.75 watercolor on medium weight Yupo synthetic paper.  A pot of bougainvilleas flanks the purple painted wooden bench at my studio.  A yellow windowbox holds white and red petunias and vinca beneath the red trim of the pale yellow house.  My favorite has to be the purple shutters guarding the windows.  I used DaVinci, Daniel Smith, and WN paints.
