Not giving up on painting flowers

5 by 7 watercolor on paper © Maria
 A small 5 by 7 watercolor.  A photo I took in the spring, love the bright colors of the photo.  Off to yoga class, will give these another look when I am home :)

    1. Thank you Judy, I am inspired each time I work in my garden to paint some flowers, but I find them so challenging, they are never nearly as pretty as they are outside in the yard ?!

  3. Hello Maria:) How funny; the paint is still wet:) I love the way how the red is bleeding in the yellow. Love the flowers, very fresh!

    1. I always love the paintings most when they are still wet, have so much more color! I think I should use more color, less water. Always something new to try :)
