I brought some spring flowers to the party

This week's just too busy with this and that and other little things. But I didn't want to miss the party today, so I'm using a little watercolour study I did last week and never managed to download from my camera until today.



I always love putting flowers on my dining room table, but it looks even prettier in spring. And they make a good subject for sketching too.


Somehow, I always seem to end up with pinks lately, whenever I take out my watercolours.


But as the work progresses, some green and yellow were added to the palette.


And here's the finished picture. The real flowers are gone by now, but these will continue to be in bloom.



And be sure to pop around Palette & Paint too to see what's on everyone's palette.
And a happy, relaxing, creative and chocolate-filled Easter Weekend!
