Tiny flowers
Posted: May 25, 2020 Filed under: Uncategorized 18 CommentsThis grouping of flowers — picked from my garden this morning — is my favourite of the season. Tiny blossoms of Forget-me-not, just-budding Lilies of the Valley, acid yellow Euphorbia, and a few others whose names escape me. And of course the gently arching Bleeding Hearts. Even their names seem to be most descriptive of the year. Once these fade, the big showy stuff blooms and, at least in my garden, they just never have the beauty and delicacy of these. Sketched in watercolour and white gouache on Strathmore toned paper.

Sandi, I had the little vase on my drawing table and I was standing above it so it is a bit of a bird’s eye view. Thanks so much for writing.

Interesting Rothko like background… yet bit disturbing too with the bit ragged edges… somewhat distractive from the lovely bouquet.

It wasn’t intended to be a painting on its own but I see what you mean. Those pale edges are just the toned paper I was working on. Thanks for writing.

Now imagine this printed on a wall 8 foot tall.
Yes, that’s what I’m talking about….WoW! xx

Your tiny flowers have such a delicate, lovely feel to them…not overpowering, just showing a bit of their stuff. Well chosen subjects and well done!
