For Caroline

Description

Ew now that I look at this on the computer screen I'm seeing about a million mistakes.... not least of which are the highlights... ew... I should have blended them better! This is what happens when I paint under artificial light... :faint:

Anyway... < / whining >

This is for Caroline, my 2nd mother. They're all flowers from her yard that I sketched several weeks ago. I wanted to give her some small gift in return for all her generosity that she's shown me in the nearly 2 years that I've lived at her house. She has never made me feel unwelcome and been extremely patient with me (and my lack of job) and has also given me some very sound advice at times when I needed it.

I know she loves flowers and plants and gardening so this was the first thing I came up with... if I had been more confident about drawing hummingbirds, I would have drawn those instead though...

Anyway... it's been a long time since I painted flowers and this is my first time doing it with real watercolors and watercolor paper... I still need a LOT of practice.
