Paint Party Friday - Year 7, Week 3

Since I wasn't using a visual reference, I found I enjoyed the process of flying blind that this painting is a result of.  This piece is 12x18 140 lb. Canson watercolor paper.  Working larger than an A2 size card (which is where my background originates), really alters the scale of objects.  I had intended on painting 3 large flowers and quickly realized I needed to add a lot more to fill the space!  As I generally put myself through agony trying to decide whether to outline or not, I ultimately went with painting the black outline.  The movement of the background wash is quite a contrast to the bold statement of the flowers, as if they're floating on water!

Anyhoo, thanks for stopping by!
