Hibiscus, watercolor and ink (on Strathmore watercolor greeting card)
I painted this flower a few months ago from one of the photos that Jeet took when we went to The Domes in Milwaukee, WI. This flower was in the tropical dome and I really enjoyed painting it. I have not been doing very many watercolor paintings lately and I am going to start again this week. I had a really long and tiring weekend and I spent most of today recouping and getting back into my old schedule. My sister’s wedding was really nice and I actually had a lot of fun at it. It was in my parent’s backyard and it was a really casual, Hawaiian themed wedding. I got a chance to see a lot of relatives plus some friends that I haven’t seen in some time.
