Yellow Columbines, 8" x 11"

This piece was done using Prismacolor watercolor pencils.
The paper is Daler&Rowney CACHET sketchbook paper.  
The paper is also recycled and has a natural tone to it.
I used my Columbine plant as the reference.

Finished Bleeding Hearts

Bleeding Hearts
- watercolor
- 9" x 12"
- Arches Cold-pressed paper

I finally finished the Bleeding Hearts painting.  
Every painting I do is such a huge learning curve
for me because I am self-taught.  I have a vision of 
what I want the painting to be but have to find my way
through each work.  My goal for this painting was 
to do a Botanical Illustration.

Valentine's Day inspired me again to try some Bleeding
Heart flowers.  I just love the delicate beauty of these flowers.
