watercolor 28 x 8 top ( bottom is a close up) While I was going through my photos deciding which was the special flower for the evening, I decided on the Gladiola. My mom passed away last April and I was able to take photos of my mom's flowers. Do you believe that they throw all those lovely flowers away. So after the funeral I was able to come and get all of the flowers I wanted. I was able to take lots of photos. I had never seen such beautiful flowers. This was a great way to remember my mom... I remember she would always like to buy bouquets of them and she even grew them in her yard. Mom, these flowers are for you.
A beautiful tribute to your mom. I'm guessing the background is indigo. How did you sign your name? By lifting with water?
ReplyDeleteI see you has painted more flowers, it is very nice, I feel more lively with your colors and see how you have planed successful this watercolor, the background permits emphasizing the gladiolas. I hope to watch more flowers.
ReplyDeleteLove the vertical format. The flowers are gorgeous, love the dark background..makes them really pop.
ReplyDeleteHi Kath-TY the background is actually indigo, marine blue, perm. magenta, and paynes gray. There are two coats on the background. I have another flower on my board all drawn out and ready to paint. Teaching two classes today wore me out. lol
ReplyDeleteHi Julian, so do you have gladiolas in Spain? I want to see your flowers. Glad you are enjoying the flowers I am sending you :) Keep watching. I have more.
Patricia, Thank you. Tomorrow my framer is going to see them and give me some tips on how I should frame these long verticles. I never planned on doing this series, it just happened. Glad you are enjoying them.
