| "Apricot Foxglove"
"A tall, slender column of 'apricot foxglove'
blossoms brightens a special place in your garden. Alone, or grouped,
this beauty is a welcome summer candle."
ARTIST COMMENT This medium sized watercolor on Arches 140# hot-pressed watercolor paper, was from a sketch and research photos of the lovely plant I grew in my home garden. It is a hybrid that I discovered several years ago that absolutely enchanted me. (Since then, I have seen other unusual specimens of hybrid foxgloves.) I painted the background in a wash of deep tones of cool blue and a greyed brown to allow the salmon-y color of the flower to glow. Utilizing the layering technique, I brought out the depth of color in the bells and finished by placing details in each of the larger blooms.

| 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. | ||||||||||||||||||
