What a great technique to achieve the 'snowy' look. Butcher's Broom is such an unusual plant, I love it. The bright red of the berries gives a fantastic focus here.
Un lavoro molto interessante come esecuzione e molto bello come risultato finale. Ciao Jane!
These are truly exquisite! I love the beautiful red diffused within those lovely greens. Gorgeous!
Una combinación de colores y un juego de agua muy bellos!
I became curious about your blog at the Studio At The Farm site; I noticed you had architecture as your "industry." I have been in architecture as well and started my blog to get away from drafting and try my hand at painting--loosely. I had to see your work. Very lovely--and still very articulate both your architectural paintings and your florals, a subject I chose for relief. Now I'm suddenly find my drawing again. Anyway, I'm your new follower. Happy painting. The Butche's broom paintings are beautiful. You're not a stranger to watercolor.
Hello Jane:) Love your pungitoppo's! Especially that nice green color. Very nice!
These are all so absolutely beautiful!! I just get lost looking into them.
excellent work of art !!!!
J'adore ce petit houx (Ruscus aculeatus), j'en ai aussi dans le jardin. Bonne idée que de décliner ainsi ce thème et belle réussite. Bravo !
Very fragile and delicate work Jane. You have such an individual style when you paint in watercolours.
