"Birds Of Paradise", 14x20 inches, Watercolor on Paper
This painting was inspired by a trip to Longwood Gardens, a botanical garden in Chester County PA. I took this photo reference while inside the indoor portion of the arboretum. I copied the composition of the reference photo exactly. I utilized a broad range of colors and values to make this tropical plant come to life.
