Painted this one a while ago but never got around to posting it, mostly because I had wanted to add the salsa recipe in calligraphy (but that urge has come and gone).
Watercolor on paper
T and I were going to make salsa to take to a party. As I began to assemble the ingredients on the plate, I thought it would make a great still life. So, before I started chopping the veggies, I took 15 minutes to do capture them in watercolor. I think it came out rather well.
I have been marveling at other artists' still life paintings of late and realized that I have not done one myself in probably 20 years. And with today being the first day of Spring (although you would never know it from the weather), I figured that meant flowers.
Not that I did them justice, but they are colorful and pretty. Happy first day of Spring!!
Watercolor on 140lbs paper 9x12
The 9x12 paper is just a bit too big for my scanner and that causes some shadowing on the paper. I might have to re-scan this or take a photo of it instead.
