Description
I have had so much fun playing with the colors and hues of one of my watercolor paintings of a sunflower. "Sunkissed Sunflower" came into being from one such play-time. I love the various shades of red and orange petals against the strong magenta's and violet's of the sunflowers center. The olive greens in the leaves "pop" next to the turquoise of the sky and the reds of the petals. Working with complementary color schemes is always delightful!
Maybe someday I'll invest in a digital program and really, really get down to business when it comes to "playing" with my paintings and photo's. But for now, just a little "tweaking" with the basics is good enough for me!

This is such an interesting watercolor...I love that medium and never had any talent in the area...kudos to you!!!
Laura Grisham replied:
Oh Judy...if only you knew! I have little confidence in watercolor and tend to use it like acrylics! I'm going to one day have Svetlana Novikova and Lil Taylor give me some lessons! But hey, thanks for your comment!

Laura Grisham replied:
Thanks, Tammy! If the colors are not saturated then you KNOW I probably didn't paint it...COLOR is my middle name! lol
