| 'Poppies' Watercolor on Canson 140lb cold press paper |
First off, sorry for the bad photo, I finished this in the evening and could not get good light to save my life. The background is actually white but it keeps showing up pinkish or yellowish in the pics even with playing with it in Photoshop. I love red and have red accents in my kitchen so I thought poppies would make a perfect painting to add some color pop to the walls. I did a bunch of practice poppies in my field sketch book and three poppy paintings before I got to this one. I love how the poppies turned out but I'm not real happy with the placement of the two top buds. Sooo...I'm sure there will be more poppy painting madness in my near future.
I also did some hummingbird watercolor studies which my mom has hinted she would love for mother's day.
I just turned my spare bedroom into a studio of sorts and am loving the fact that all of my supplies are in one spot...and I have space to store everything! It's amazing how just having easy access to your supplies can really get the creative juices flowing. I did a free form daisy painting in oils also, all in the last two days! The house is spotless, laundry is done and I had the whole day today to myself so I've been busy painting away in between watching reruns of The Walking Dead, (even though I have an irrational fear of zombies, I love that show!)
Hope you had a great creative weekend! I'm linking up to
Sunday Sketches so please stop by to visit the other lovely creations.

These are really beautiful and yes the humming birds would be great for M-day :)
Those poppies are amazing...one of my favourite flowers. The humming birds are gorgeous. Having a room just for art is wonderful... :)
red is the accent in my kitchen too so it would be wonderful on my wall:)
I love your use of bright colours.

Love your hummers. Will your Mother be getting a surprise?? :) I am hoping this year my poppies will bloom as I just love them.
Those are such lovely poppies! The pedals are totally looking translucent! Like the real thing! Amazing!
A fear of zombies is *not* irrational!! I too generally avoid zombie flicks, but have watched the first two seasons of Walking Dead on Netflix... I love your poppies, they are beautiful and delicate. I also love your hummingbirds, they are such wonderful birds! Congrats on having a dedicated space for your art!
I love how they turned out, especially the bird in the first pic end the flowers colour in the second one.
