This is the watercolor bouquet that I have just painted.
Pink and orange dahlias, fushia zinnias,blue-violet larkspur, pale yellow snapdragons and dark pink batchelor buttons are from the farmers market. The daisies are a wildflower which is in bloom now.
Here is a clear and lovely photo of the flowers! Watercolor is so much more pastel...unless you really get a lot of pigment with the water!
I really like the spiky orange and yellow dahlia!

Your paintings are always so beautiful. This one is extra special. I like the blues and purple in the background and the more vibrant reds and oranges in the foreground....it really draws the eye into the painting.
WOW Lila!!! This is fantastic! so many wonderful colors and textures to see. Great work sweetie! Love, Jamie
Lovely bouquet , zinnias are one of my favourite flowers, I love their vibrant colour combinations.
Dear fellow Libra:
Your painting is lovely! All my favorite flowers and watercolor is my favorite medium too.
My Finnish mother-in-law will be in town for the Solstice and we are taking her to a "Juhannusjuhla" tomorrow night at the Scandinavian Bakery & Rest. So we'll be toasting to the 1st day of summer.
Happy day!
Thats a beaufiful painting. Your colors are always so vivid and alive. It must give you great joy to create such lovely art.
Hi Lila! Carmen sent me over, saying that she thought I would enjoy your blog...she was right:-) Such a beautiful painting...I've always admired people who can paint like that, I'm afraid when it comes to drawing or painting I'm a hopeless case! lol I'm also still in shcok over Daisy's death...I miss her so much already. I'm having a Faerie Day Giveaway so please make sure you come on over and enter your name in the draw:-) xox
You are a talented gifted artist! Love your work! hugs NG
