 Hey all, 

Here are a few watercolours that capture the blossoms that lightened our moods this spring. This particular bouquet, filled with chocolate hellebores, lilacs and a type of yellow ground cover from the garden, took my attention for a few weeks. Placed in a beautiful vintage, turquoise vase, the combination of colours were unusual and striking. 

In the top painting, I was interested in the deep tones and velvety texture.  In the second, the subject was the light playing across the forms.  Two different approaches to express two different moods.  

As summer bumps away spring and starts to settle into the landscape, I hope to do weekly paintings of the flora here in the Okanagan Valley.  Wishing you all well.
