Magnolia II for Canada Day
I have a four-day weekend because of Canada Day. It was so enjoyable to spend the day painting. After the small details of the strawberry and the maze of the peony petals, I wanted something easy and relaxing. I painted a variation of my "Southern Belle" magnolia painting ( see earlier post below). This is a smaller size than my initial version and is less dramatic...but I think that in general it is better painted. Or at least should be once I have smoothed some areas and some edges.

ReplyDeleteStunning painting! xx
Beautiful! I really like the veining on that front petal.
ReplyDeleteThis is stunning! I love it that you have made it delicate with details in the right spots but have not overdone the detail. It is beautifully "watercolorly!"
