Apple - torn paper collage

10x10 wrapped canvas, a torn magazine paper collage applied with matte medium after drawing an apple outline.  This is my daily painting for today.  An iPhone is hidden somewhere within; can you find it?

Beach Cottage

Nasturtiums and Poppies

10x8 acrylics on wrapped canvas done today.  These two types of blooms you don't see in compositions together usually.  The sides are also painted with overlapping design elements.

10x15 watercolor of blue and white hydrangeas painted very wet in wet on Canson 140 lb cold press paper using Daniel Smith paints, done today.  No photo or pencil used, just brush only.

Party Pods

15x22 watercolor on Fabriano 140 lb rough paper and Daniel Smith paints done today using only a black & white photo.  So all color is made up, following the values present in the photo copy.  One lone lotus blossom rises amongst the partiers who sing and dance above a sea of lilypads.
