This is a 7 x 10 watercolor done for the Weekend Drawing Event on WetCanvas. The reference photo was from a garden in the Netherlands. I couldn't resist the vibrant colors and the trees in the background.
HI Joan..wow this is definitely one of my favorites of yours! Thank you for the recent visits to my blog; sorry I haven't thanked you earlier or visited yours lately- we just finished up school today, so now I hope to have more time to say hi, and PAINT! Take care!!
Holly, Thanks for coming by for a look. I'm glad you like this one. Now that you're finished with school, I'll be expecting to see lots of good stuff on your blog.
I have always participated in the visual arts including watercolors, drawing and sketching, pen and ink, and photography. Since retiring from teaching I have devoted much of my time to watercolors, sometimes combining them with pen and ink or collage.
Watercolor is the perfect medium to capture the beauty that surrounds us. I love to travel, and sketch and paint wherever I go. Painting, especially on location, captures the spirit and life of the subject. I hope to continue doing that for a long time to come.

Very pretty. I love those purples.
Wow... I'm impressed.
Jeanne - Thanks. I'm a purple person so when I saw the expanse of purple flowers I knew I would have to paint them.
Hero - Thank you for visiting my blog and leaving a message. I'm glad to hear that you're impressed.
I'm impressed too, Joan. The depth you have achieved in those beds of flowers is awesome. Lovely, lovely picture.
