Purple Splotched Lilies

Aren't these splotchy speckly lilies in my garden amazing?


They inspired me to paint this watercolor. I did wet on wet with plenty of splotches sprayed on with a toothbrush to give it some texture. Let me know what you think!


What are your favorite flowers to paint?

  6. The lilies are beautiful and so is your painting! Love your flower art.

    My favorite flowers to draw or paint are sunflowers. My family gave me a bouquet as a gift during graduation, and I illustrated it here:
