Even though flowers aren't my best subject I get drawn to them at this time of the year. The local arboretum has a wonderful garden full of these beauties. I tried doing this one without any pencil sketching first. This is about 4 x 6.
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.
