You are invited!

This August I will be exhibiting my art at Flying Apron Bakery in Redmond.  Stop by and grab a treat, their green juices are yummy, and their green monster pizza is simply delicious. I put an emphasis on flowers for this show and this is my latest painting

crocosmia

I am fascinated by Crocosmias and admire their hardiness and beauty. I was itching to paint in my favorite medium, so I got my watercolors out.  The actual flowers I painted in gouache (opaque watercolor) to give it a punch, and when it wasn't enough I shaded it with pencil.

I love the movement that this painting has and the good memories it keeps.  My daughter sprawled on the sidewalk with me drawing one afternoon, too bad I don't have a picture of that.
