This is about 5 x 7 done with watercolors and ink. It was an arrangement of flowers my husband bought me for my birthday last week. When he handed them to me he said, "I hope you're going to paint them."
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.

Oh yes, this is lovely. I like using pen and ink with water colour too. Eileen
Eileen - Thanks so much! I think the pen and ink adds a lot to some of the paintings.
Just gone through the painting of flower and found it to be wonderful. It was nice going through your blog. Iflorist.co.uk
I know I commented on this yesterday. Where did my comment go???
Anyway, I love the bouquet. Did Jerry pick out this arrangement with the thoughts of it making a good painting?
