Last year a friend gave me a coloring book that I had admired and I finally took a couple of the designs to color, adding more line work. Art without much planning, just doing. I tucked in more flowers and embellished the painting with gold and silver (wings, seed heads).
I loved getting lost in painting the extra flowers, playing with metallics, using my vintage flower book from my days in the UK. Watercolor painting on Strathmore Vellum Bristol paper. Image was copied onto heavier paper.
