Two And A Half Royals

This painting was initiated on site and of course finished later. My tools were Fabriano toned paper, brushpens, fountain pen and posca markers. I so wanted to cover the background but a part of me likes the background as is. These royal Lilies are part of Pam's garden. This is pure conjecture but, I think these originated in her mom's garden. Its funny the first painting I ever posted on my Daily Paintworks site was "Arlene's Poppy" which was from her mom's garden. I remember taking the photo when I first met her.

Died Lavender

Another in the kitchen counter series. I call this one died lavendar because I think these flowers weren painted this color by the florist. Do florists paint flowers?

The Star Lily

The title came to mind because of my focus on this one lily from a full bouquet of flowers that were on my counter.

The Show Off

I've been working from life with floral arrangements. This is one that started out as a fountain pen rendering of course watercolor was added later. I usually have a floral arrangement in the kitchen and living room. I do multiple drawings on various surfaces and paint them later. It keeps my eyes fresh and I think its good to draw from life.

Smile Makers

I was sick for a few days and we had snow days added on. During that time I cleaned and cleared out a lot of clutter including my photos. (My doctor had me on steroids for lung issues) Well during my purge I found this photo of a friends flowers from her husband. It makes me smile enjoy.
