| "Single Dogwood"
"Sturdy and bright, a 'single dogwood' is
appealing in its simplicity. No wonder so many gardens feature this
versatile tree."
ARTIST COMMENT I like to focus on one single flower and explore all the details that it has to offer. Using Arches 140# hot-pressed watercolor paper, I first drew the subject lightly with a # 2 pencil. I then washed in the background keeping in mind the color of the bloom, the size and shape; and where my highlights would be, based on the direction of light. In this small watercolor, I emphasized the mood of the dawning of a Spring day, with the yellow light in the upper right, and deep shadows in the lower left. The detail was carefully placed in layers as I completed the piece. To learn more about the artist "painting florals", please click

Carol Thompson's personal garden is the subject of this series of watercolor paintings entitled "Carol's Garden". These florals are inspired by the many hours of pleasure received from working the rich soil, nurturing the seedlings, and admiring the fragrant blossoms. Her garden is her getaway, a place to clear her mind; to daydream, a place to get in touch with nature, and a place to think, plan, and just relax. |
