As the summer comes to a close I am spending more time in the studio. Lately, I've been working with watercolors to create these expressive floral paintings of favorite blooms. They reflect a sunwashed summer palette of dusty blues, pale golden yellows and faded coral pinks.
These are iphone photos that I've posted on my art studio's Instagram feed @gildedbloomstudio. Feel free to follow me there to see more art in process!
This sunflower is a soft and muted version of the bright yellow blooms that grace the garden in August and September. The pale gold and yellow ochre petals make a subtle statement.
In this painting of a hydrangea dusty teal blues are emphasized for decorative effect.
Here, layers of watercolor washes form the petals of this coral pink peony...
And finally, a few iridescent gold accents are added to the center of the flower...
