Delphinium Watercolor

A few years ago, the most beautiful delphinium bloomed (unexpectedly) in my yard!  It was a deep, rich purple color and almost took my breath away!  Sadly, the following year, it did not return.  But I found a ragged little delphinium at the end of the season plant sale and brought it home, wondering if it would survive our rather severe winter temperatures.  The following spring, it bloomed... but not with the deep purple color I was expecting.  It was a lovely lavender that leaned toward light blue but also with some rosy tones.  Several years later, it has now spread and sent up multiple blooms of this soft lavender-blue!  Of course, that was an invitation to paint it's portrait!  

It's ready to send to its new home!  Find out all the details here! 

This lovely painting will bring a spot of calm color to a bedroom, office, or living room... well, just about anywhere!  A framed option is also available.  See the details at the link above.
