This was done from a photo of rhodie buds in my yard. It is a watercolor on Arches 140CP, 7 x 11. Since there are so many great flower painters out there, I rarely paint flowers. This was done as part of a monthly challenge.
Deborah, thank you! It took me quite a while. Penny, greens are quite a challenge. It is difficult to get variety without it appearing that the leaves are from different species.
This is beautiful Joy! I love the delicate blending on the leaves and the bud is really well done. Yes, please paint more flowers, you're very good at them, and there can never be too many flower paintings in the world.
