Day lily.

Comments

What a fabulous colour Carole, I don't think I've seen this colour day lily before, mine are all orange. This painting is beautiful.

Thank you Margaret, I have a lovely goldy yellow one as well. I did emphasise the th shades in this with some cadmium red to bring it to life a bit as the flower is a dull deep red, pretty though.

Like Margaret mine are all orange too Carole but this is so dark and rich with subtle tones, it's gorgeous.

Lovely work, I am guessing in watercolours.

Fantastic work, Carole. Sumptuous colour, and you've even included some of that seed (a bit like dust) that gets everywhere.

The fantastic colour, dusting of pollen and excellent detail all go to make this a wonderful painting. Just gorgeous. Brian
