New painting!

"Quince at Dusk" 9 3/4 x 14 3/4, watercolor

I started and completed this small painting today. I adore flowering quince, and this is the season here in northern California for this exquisite bush to be blooming. To me, it's quintessentially Asian, and I tried to keep to the spare and delicate format the Japanese are known for.

New Painting!

"Quince Blossoms", 5x5, watercolor on Claybord©.

Another little flower painting to add to the growing number of 5 x 5s of just flowers! It's a lot of fun and quite relaxing to do. I realize this is not the season for Quince, but I perused some old photos I had of these gorgeous blossoms and had to paint one.
