3 Sisters - Lilies in Watercolor

3 Sisters - Descanso Lilies,  7.5 x 9.5" Watercolor on Yupo

Here is yet another small floral from some of the beautiful flowers I saw while visiting Descanso Gardens in California last month.  This one is done on Yupo, a synthetic watercolor paper that doesn't absorb water.  The beautiful patterns of the paint and water remain, though they are a bit unpredictable as the paint is applied.  That adds to the charm and beauty, in my opinion.  
The colors are a harmonious set of blues and greens allowing the flowers to stand out from them, the interiors of the flowers clearly visible for a spot of color.
