| MON FAMILE ORIGINAL FLOWER MINIATURE WATERCOLOR PAINTING BY COLLEEN SANCHEZ 5 X 7 FITS STANDARD 8 X 10 MAT/FRAME SOLD colleensanchez.blogspot.com I fell in love with this Hibiscus bush one day at a local park. The back-lit flowers were so striking, the rich color glow just a knockout. I tried to show that glow through less focus on details and more focus on the vibrancy of the light. Sometimes you just need to put down the brushes, stand back and say, yeah, it's done. |

| RASPBERRY CREAM AN ORIGINAL MINIATURE FLORAL WATERCOLOR PAINTING by Colleen Sanchez 8x8 AVAILABLE VISIT MY FINE ART BLOG Early one morning I spotted this tiny, tiny rose not more than one inch across in the garden outside our building. I thought I'd have a little fun with macro photography of it, kind of liked the rose. so decided to paint it in watercolor. Seemed to take a very long time with all the petals and variations of color within each one. I thought it needed a very dark background to set it off. Thanks for taking the time to look. |
