This is the finished painting of the Dahlia from the last painting I taught at Riverside Arts Center this winter session. I was happy how it turned out. This was finished from the example where I masked the edges of the petals. (See earlier post in this blog.) I have not yet finished the other example which was not masked. This painting is 9 " x 13 " on 140 lb. Canson cold-pressed watercolor paper.

Oh my! Those background leaves are gorgeous!! I think they are even prettier than the dahlia!!
Autumn Leaves has taken the words right out of my mouth. Those background leaves are stunning.
Oh Wow! This painting just glows! Excellent!
Very nice (I agree about the background!) Look forward to seeing the "twin" completed to compare.
Thanks everyone for commenting and visiting - I love opening my blog and discovering I have had visitors!:)
I think everyone loves the leaves more than the flower - the painters on Watercolor Workshop also felt that way - interesting...I am going to have to think about this:)
