This ATC (2.5 x 3.5) was done for the WetCanvas project I've been doing. I used one of my own reference photos. I was happy with the way this came out. I enjoy painting these small cards and have signed up for a new project in this size.
mArta - Thank you. I don't do florals very often...I find the shadows difficult. I tried larger sunflowers and were never happy with them. The little ones come out much better for me.
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.

Joan, excellent! One of my favorites of yours. It shows when you are having fun!
Just beautiful Joan, as always.
P.S. Youve been tagged! No pressure though. ;)
What a ray of sunshine on this wet, cold, day in England!
Beautiful!!!
That's a super sunflower!!!
Love the sunflower.
Jo - Thanks so much. It is strange that I have difficulty doing flowers on a larger scale.
Lori - Thank you.
Anita - Glad it brought a little sunshine to you. Thanks.
Mickey - Now I just have to translate it into doing larger ones. Thanks.
Jeanne - I enjoyed doing the ones I did for the exchange. Thank you.
Great sunflower, the colours are so warm, like a hot summer day.
