I thought with nearly everyone surrounded by ice and snow, we needed a splash of colour and a taste of summer (that will one day come) to keep our spirits up. This is a watercolour I did a while ago, so hope you don't mind the use of an old image, as I'm currently hunkered down in front of the fire dreaming of the green green grass.

  2. Mind??? Oh no, not at all, as I gaze upon our snow covered land. This watercolor is exquisite - thanks for bringing us a taste of summer! nancy

  3. how lovely! The way that the yellow of the petals is reflected on the leaves does make this feel quite warming. And since all my flowers are covered in a giant dumping of snow, this watercolour has arrived in a very timely manner. Summery indeed, and really, really pretty!

  4. There is nothing quite like burying your nose in the soft velvety petals of a fully open English rose to inhale all that fragrance. Your beautiful watercolor brought back nose memories! ahhhh :)

  13. Gorgeous! I don't mind at all, and Iwould you mind if I copy it at some point? I am learning water colors, and I find it easier to copy other peoples paintings rather than painting from life or a photographs.
