Oriental Lily Bouquet by Linda Young


Oriental Lily Bouquet
Watercolor, 14 x 21

The rains have been steady here and outdoor gardening can't be done; so the next best thing is to stay indoors and have fun painting.  I began this painting three weeks ago when the aroma from them was really strong; unfortunately I'm allergic to their scent and had to move them out of my studio.  Challenging to paint without the subject in front of me, I still enjoyed their beauty.

I love the fragrance as well-happily I.m not allergic--Such a delicate painting-perfect rendering for such an elegant flower.
