Life is a flower...

Life is a flower; spreading happiness wherever one finds it!

 Holding onto the last bits of summer.  Finding joy and comfort as I painted this watercolor still-life.  

I thought I would share my progress.  This was painted with Daniel Smith and Holbein watercolors on 140 lb. watercolor paper.  I taped the edges and painted this on my new watercolor easel.  I love that I can take it everywhere!  

  I first sprayed the paper with a mister before I began to add color and shape.

I added a small amount of Titanium White Gouache to a few of the flowers.  I also applied gouache to the vase and foreground with a palette knife.

And, always add splatters!

Ready to frame and go to a new home!

Until next time;

Ursula xo
