‘Moody Carnations’, a bold, yet delicate loose watercolour interpretation. I like to show different growth aspects of this plant and the ‘receptacles’ below the petals. The counter balance of the flowers against the vase was carefully considered to enable some of them to overhang and contrast against it. In retrospect, I particularly like the crisp ellipse at the top of the vase. Spattering and a faded-out background seem to be my signature technique. Again, as I look more closely, and am reminded of its conception, Iportrayed a delicate tablecloth to boot! Altogether, a pleasing composition andcolour palette. The mount and frame together create a complimentary/holistic feelingto this delicate watercolour. Show more
