Have I shown you my newest painting in the “Enchanted” series? No… I don’t think I have! Here it is:
It is 11″x15″ on rough press watercolor paper. I used some new paints my sweet husband bought from Daniel Smith for Christmas! (yes… I did give a couple hints – hee hee) This new grey blue has the most beautiful granulating effect and that’s why I chose to use the rough press paper.
It has quite a surreal feel about it doesn’t it? It took a lot of different attempts at mixing paint colors to achieve the fell and depth in the dark red poppies. And I was quite nervous about adding the little stem hairs. But what is a good Oriental Poppy without the hairy stems?
Every time I finish one of these “Enchanted” paintings, a new pops into my head! I’m about to begin work a new one… and if it turns out as I hope, it will be “Golden Enchantment”… but you’ll have to wait until it’s done before you get any more hints! 
Thanks for stopping by today and enjoying my painting with me. It’s a time that I find I can forget all worries, and freely dance in my heart. This time, I spent a lot of time listening to Kathy Troccoli’s “Comfort” as my heart was very heavy. But Marc Enfroy’s music carried me along as well!
I love my painting times!
What do you do to let go of the worries that tangle around our feet and keep us from dancing in our hearts?
Your painting is lovely! Thank you so much for stopping by my blog and entering my OWOH giveaway. I hope you will be back!
