Sunflowers in a white vase. 6 x 9 watercolor on 140 lb. Arches cold pressed paper. © Sheila Delgado

I am having too much fun with these simple little flowers. And by that I mean, I am having fun keeping it simple while I paint these flowers. I completed another bouquet today that I will share with you soon. The vase looks better in person. There is a hint of light blue for shaping, and the yellow reflection does not look so choppy. I used some indigo (watery) for shadow under the petals, but here it looks green, I suppose that works too.

I am thinking I may crop this just a bit on the left and top, but that can be done with matting. I am very tempted to go back in and even out the background, The pink is dark in just that one area. But maybe this is a wall in an old Mexican cantina…  and that stain is from someone throwing their beer against the wall on a rowdy Cinco De Mayo night!

Have a happy Friday muchachos!
