New Watercolor Painting - EXOTIC ALLAMANDA FLOWER
Here's my new painting, the exotic, tropical Allamanda Jamaican Sunset. This wonderful exotic flower grows in Australia, Florida, and the tropics. Known as Yellow Bell, Golden Trumpet or Buttercup, it belongs to the dogbane family. No matter what name it has, I loved painting it! This makes a great gift or is wonderful for you to enjoy in your own home!

PAINTING IN PROGRESS - PART 2
Analyzing how a painting progresses is a constant process. With my little girl in the daffodils, a few things really started to bother me. For one thing, I found the small purple crocuses in the foreground distracting. For another, I don’t find the horizon of trees in the background pleasing. I will try to remove both and see if I can come up with a solution that will unify the painting and help focus more on the little girl and flowers.
Once I carefully removed layers of watercolor paint, I was able to rethink my composition. I decided to blur the background in soft greens.
Finally, I added layers of golden yellow to give a sense of light, created a shadow under the child, carefully redefined each of the daffodils, and deepened the shadows of the jacket. FINISHED!
I hope that you enjoyed seeing the decisions I made and why as I created my "Girl with Daffodils" watercolor painting!

PAINTING IN PROGRESS - PART 1
Here's a new painting that I thought you would enjoy. It's of a little girl getting ready to pick her first flower of spring - a daffodil. It's still chilly, so she has her coat on.
I'm going to show you a few steps at a time to my creative process. This really takes weeks to complete, but I'll speed up showing you the process.
Here's the beginning of the painting. I have the little girl with the start of flowers - the basic composition.

Here's the beginning of the painting. I have the little girl with the start of flowers - the basic composition.
Now, I've added more color to the flowers and grass to add depth. Not sure that I am pleased with the horizon or the distracting purple crocus in the foreground.
Although the shadows on her jacket are not done yet, I want to see what a line of trees would look like in the distance at the horizon.
Don't think that I am pleased with the horizon trees yet. I'll have to think about it and work on another part of the painting.
That's all for now. I'll bring you up to date in a bit. I'd love to hear from you and learn what you think of this painting so far. Any suggestions?
