"Daffodils"

watercolor on 9x12 block. Just needed a little sunshine and looking forward to seeing my own daffodils come up and bloom in the next few weeks. So far they are up about 2-3 inches out of the ground as well as my tulips.

Cymbidium Orchid

Watercolor on 9"x12" block. I purchesed this orchid plant a few weeks ago with the great idea to paint the bloom. The actual size of the flower is 3 and a half inches by 2". I've never tryed this much detail to a flower bloom before, after several hours I'm pretty happy with it.

I realized I forgot to finish sketching final phase. Now I think the picture looks detailed. This was done from my imagination, no real reference.

I received a gift certificate for Christmas. Today I used it to buy 3 sketch books. One for pencil and 2 for water color. This is done on a 4x6 canson, 140lb. cold press. And since I don't normally work on such small paper I purchased 2 new brushes as well. Thanks Tami & John.
