"Spring Flowers" - Watercolor - 8x10 - July 2014
"Spring Flowers" was an accident. I had attended a workshop and was painting a barn on a large piece of paper. The first one I loved and it's posted in June 2014. But when I got home and was working with the one inch brush on the second piece, I hated it. I also hate to waste paper so I decided to turn it over and do some practice painting on the back. This flower study is one I had done before. I still need to go back with a smaller brush and add just a few details and darken the middle but overall I was pleased with it. I love muted colors and more of an impressionistic feel. This one I will probably finish and frame. The one below "Flowers" was done in June 2012 from the same study. It was a favorite at my Art Show and was one of the first to sell. Guess simpler is better. I have to agree I loved "Flowers" too. A project I need to do one day is to drag out all my old "discarded" paintings and do some rework on them. There might just be a painting there waiting to be discovered!!
