These gorgeous glads were given to my husband many years ago by a friend at work. They return every year, though they should not! In this very spot, I also have calla lilies that return each year - here in Zone 5! Craziness! As I sketch these in ink and watercolor, I long to paint them in oils. Working in miniature, ink and watercolor are the perfect medium. I can work very fast with ink, letting the blooms unfold naturally. Working out the thought process here, the oil painting should be effortless. I love this time spent in the garden! Painting number 2727 in 2727 days.
I am loving this series of flowers you are painting. I can imagine how beautiful your yard is.
