Trumpet Flowers
5x7in watercolor on acid free paper
DAY 16
These trumpet flowers are all over the place
at the moment. I love the pods.
Artist Note
I attempted several interpretations of these flowers,
and I found I had to emphasize the cool against the
warm areas to come up with an image I liked.
I have always had difficulty with a red and green
color harmony and to make this one palatable to my
eyes, I had to nudge some lavenders and blues
in there.
Do any of you have a favorite way of
handling painting red and green that you feel
comfortable in passing on?
