Floral Motivational Quote

We are looking at the time changing soon and for me that means it's time to wash the carpets.  So I did my upstairs yesterday and today, well let's just say I am delighted to be back in the art room just hanging.  I was going to attack the garage today, but ... there's going to be another tomorrow for that I think.
I had some fun with this flower.  I don't usually do flowers, although I have several books on botanical art because I wish I could do flowers.  I also don't do a lot with watercolor.  So today was the challenge to do both.  I also added in some watercolor pencils too for some of the details.  
And, voila, with the power of canva.com I can transform it into my quote of the day.   Finally found a nice site that there are quotes from famous artists, so think I will utilize them for a while.


 Thanks much for stopping by to take a look.

I am not versed in watercolor beyond 5 lessons on technique. Have a hard time with it. You executed your painting perfectly. Love the color variations in the petals and the leaves look good as well. Nice job.
Great job on two things you don't do often! You seem to have a nice touch with the watercolours Nelvia and I think it is a good medium for flowers - light and delicate. I keep trying the canva site butam just not getting it - so far I prefer picmonkey. Have a great day!

So different from your usual style, but so beautiful and delicate, well done.

Beautiful flower Nelvia. I love the softness of the color... I've never attempted painting flowers! They look difficult.... will be waiting for your next painting...
