Description
This bud from a Christmas cactus is just peeking out and ready to bloom into a bright holiday flower. Sometimes they bloom closer to Thanksgiving, then again in the spring. I like the smooth shapes that the petals make before they unfurl. The dark backgrounds are a big challenge with watercolor and take many layers to achieve the rich translucent darks that make this painting so dramatic.
This painting is framed with a white metal 1" Neilsen frame for a contemporary look. It has a white archival mat and archival foam core backing and plexiglass. Frame size is 22.5" x 30".
For the past few years I've been painting flowers up so close that they envelop the viewer in their sensuality and rich color. Enlarged, they become almost abstractions from nature without seeing the outer shape or the environment around them.
In 2012 I qualified to be a signature member of the Northwest Watercolor Society (NWWS). This is earned by being juried into a select number of local chapter and international watercolor society shows sponsored by NWWS. The initials now follow my signature on my paintings.
In 2016 I was the selected to be poster artist for the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival. The poster won a gold medal for the festival!
