Sunday Sketches

Have you had the opportunity to smell a Stargazer lily?

What a treat! The fragrance is delightful.

I must add, the color of the Stargazer is magnificent.

I cannot resist the Stargazer; the subject of this week's sketch.

Work in Progress

Yes, I fell in love with the Black Spider Lily which has been blooming in my garden for the past few weeks.

Today I took a photo of the work in progress.

Looking at the watercolor painting as a digital images gives me another view in which to critique my painting and decide what needs attention.



I am thinking more yellow and more definition of the background.

Stay tuned......

Another Fabulous Bloom

I cannot resist sharing photos of beautiful flowers that have crossed my path. Many of which will probably become subject matter for watercolor paintings. Stay tuned!

This plant was a compulsive selection at the garden store. Thankfully, two of the three plants survived the slugs and a small child visiting.

Daily, I watch the unveiling of blooms.

It is a Lily named Black Spider.



Today's display looks like this:


The full name on the tag reads; Tango Asiatic Lily Litium asiaticum 'Black Spider'

What a beauty, wouldn't you agree?
