I have a little art show coming up in a few weeks at the Arts Council in Annapolis Royal and I am moving around my garden painting the September flowers for the show.
Zinnias, marigold and golden rod replaced the iris and bergamot. |
The paintings are small, for the room is tiny. I am painting each scene twice using first watercolours and then acrylic because I think it will be interesting for viewers to see the same scene using two different mediums and approaches.
These photos show the watercolour steps I went through in painting the zinnias.
…and this is what the acrylic painting looks like so far:

I am so enjoying spending this time with the beautiful colour and blooms in the garden and listening to the birds while I paint. And being under a bit of pressure about it is a good way to keep on task!
Woo Hoo. These are beautiful.I wish I could be there with you.It's beautiful here too though.XO Barbara
Wish you were here too Barbara AND I wish I was there too! Probably some day that will be possible!
