Watercolor Wednesday Week 43


 It's been a few weeks since I've painted and I was definitely feeling a little rusty.  I don't hate them, but I don't really love them either.  Guess I need to work on painting flowers.  They both were painted from photographs that my grandmother took probably 25+ years ago. The first one is poppies in a field and the second one is poppies next to a weathered fence.
Here is another painting  I did from a photograph my grandmother took:

    Your watercoloring abilities are just super, Jennifer. I love the orange poppy against the weathered boards. I wish I could learn to do buildings as well as you. Gorgeous works.

    I think all three of these paintings are really lovely! :)
    The first image is my favorite...I am always drawn to that triad palette of secondary colors! They are a beautiful combination!

    Happy PPF!!
