Garden Flowers watercolour painting

This painting is of some of my English garden flowers, I am contemplating an alternative title of 'Reach for the sky' as this is what always comes to mind with these stately blooms. It was painted a few years ago and reminds me of those wonderful English cottage garden flowers that I cannot grow here- but then again, many of the plants I grow here will not survive in England. It's been a while since I painted in watercolour, but I do love the lovely loose washes that can be achieved in that medium.

Peach Amaryllis in soft pastels

  Peach Amaryllis painting by Marion Hedger

This painting is from a photo I took at a local village flower festival, where the entire village was decked out in flowers including all the rooms in the chateau. These amarylis were hanging up-side-down along the large sweeping staircase - a truly breathtaking display.
