In the Garden - Caladium Note cards
I thoroughly enjoyed painting these four varieties of Caladiums: Gingerland, Miss Muffet, White Queen and Red Flash. The fused and blended colors of watercolor fit these lovely garden favorites to a T.
I just listed a set of note cards for purchase on my Etsy shop featuring these four paintings. I'm a bit of a paper snob, so the quality on these are premium: Classic Crest 80 lb Solar White with matching envelopes (not cheap see-through envelopes!). Blank inside for your personal message. They are great as a treat for yourself (everyone needs to send a handwritten note from time to time!) or as a gift for a special someone: teacher, new bride, birthday girl, gardener.

Those are gorgeous. I love caladium's and you've really capture their color and brought them to life. They make a wonderful set of note cards.

Wow, those are beautiful!
Thanks so much, Felix and Jayne! Had fun looking at your blog. We've been to Branson once, and it was really fun.
These paintings are so awesome Becky! I featured one of them in a Houston Treasury and it sure was difficult to decide which one to display. Beautiful work!!!

Thank you, Linda! I had a lot of fun painting this little series. Wet-in-wet technique is always a surprise, hoping it does what you intend for it to do!
I was given a blog award and would like for you to be one of the people to receive it! You don't have to do if you don't want to but go to my blog at: http://lindagjones.blogspot.com/
And I'd love for you to accept it and share it with your faves!!

Hi,
These are really awesome and show a good knowledge of colour relation.
Of course that when I read "Miss Muffet", I had to remember the famous cat.
Best regards,
José
