Watercolor - African Violets

ohhhh I love the "wallpaper"--it really works with the flowers! Could not be better!
ReplyDeleteSo fresh and pretty! Your paintings sure sell fast!!! That is a great thing, I know.
ReplyDeleteThat's a lot! Your flowers are delicate as always:)
ReplyDeleteI love these African Violets, Julie. Nice work!!!
ReplyDeleteLove your pattern in this one. Charming painting and reminds me of my great grandmother who kept violets in her window sill garden. Awe.
ReplyDeleteThis is a gem, Julie. Love the patterns in the background that add so much but don't take over and the rich spectrum of green in the leaves. An endearing, delightful painting!
ReplyDeleteI love how you are able to achieve such loose brushwork in your watercolor paintings too!
ReplyDeleteMy word, you piddle well! Love the little watercolor, makes me want to try a little painting.
ReplyDeleteHow I love your piddling - is that a lot like puttering (LOL)? My grandma always grew the most gorgeous African violets - she just knew what to do to get them to bloom. I have one under my kitchen light and it hasn't bloomed in years...wonderful green leaves but no blooms (maybe it needs me to feed it (: !!)
