Swallowtail in Meadow of White Coneflowers
Watercolor /

Floral Paintings
Completed off my sketches, this painting began as an experiment
using opaque white in conjunction with transparent watercolors.
Not wanting to leave the stark white of the paper visible, the
white of the coneflowers are instead very subtle pastel shades
that echo other colors in the painting. The detailing of the coneflowers
was kept simple, with those in the background only shadowy and inferred.
This and the diffused colors contribute a sense of tranquility to the painting.
