Flowers in the Rain

And you have some gorgeous areas in this...love the left hand purple bloom particularly. Very fresh and full of the water's energy. Great fun.

What a brilliant handling of water colour paints, just goes to show what can be achieved with experimentation. Let's see more experiments please. Your flower paintings are beautiful.

Quite stunning! Such a different style and equally as beautiful.

Thank you all for such a positive response! I have had another go with some different colours which gave a landscape feeling. I have put it in my landscape gallery here. Really fun and unpredictable to do!

Such a good idea to experiment, and then have the guts to post the results! Some wonderful colour in this, working so well with the water - keep posting these and keep experimenting: you'll develop more control in time (insofar as you can ever control liquid watercolour) and it will be very interesting to watch.

An experiment......using a palette knife I added pigment straight from the tube onto dry paper and then sprayed with water and let the pigment run and tried to decide what it suggested. I always seem to see flowers anyway so here is the result!
