We lived in the beautiful state of South Carolina for six years and loved every minute of it. We especially enjoyed going to the southern part of the state near the coast which was always referred to as the Low Country where the sunrises and sunsets were just gorgeous.

The color blue often represents the sky and the sea and is associated with open spaces, freedom, imagination and sensitivity. It has always been my favorite color to paint with and I especially enjoyed painting this iris with different shades of blue.

We are only in the middle of February, technically still winter, but the temperature today is very springlike. Not really the time to start planting a garden but it feels like it!

WHITE BEAUTY

Painting white flowers can be challenging in watercolor because instead of using white paint, you must save the white paper. It requires a little bit of pre-planning and a light touch when applying the shadows on the petals. But, you can also have fun using all sorts of colors that are reflected from the background on to the white flower itself.
