As you can guess, this meant a house filled with family and friends, much preparation and activity, a large gathering for the ceremony and a joyous reception for about 200. I haven't been in my studio much just lately.... but things are settling down. I hope to be back at the easel very soon. In the meantime, I'm posting some things from the archives!
Orange Flower II, 7x7" Watercolor/acrylic on Yupo
© Helen Read
ready to mat and frame
This 
little painting was done just a year ago. It's still available. I painted it from a photo I took of a small orange flower while on a hike in NY. I had never seen it before, but after some research, I believe it is Jewelweed. I liked the way the watercolor took to the Yupo paper... It is a very smooth paper and there is almost no absorption, so the paint moves very freely around ~ mixing, blending, drying unevenly. Overall, it gives a very painterly and somewhat unpredictable effect!
