This is
an original watercolor painting.
Where's the competition? It’s in
the painting, of course, the painting is not competing with other
paintings, but the elements within are competing with each other. The
flowers are competing, each trying to be more beautiful than it’s
neighbor, each vying for attention in the garden. “Who is the fairest
of us all?” The real flowers are competing with the painted flowers
around the window and door. The complimentary colors are doing their
natural dance. Green is competing with the red, the blue is competing
with the yellow/orange.
The inspiration for this painting
was a building in Santa Fe, New Mexico, but the
inspiration for the feeling of this painting was the garden itself.
I frequently paint this subject
matter in many different sizes and formats, large and small, watercolor,
acrylic and occasionally, oil. The flowers in this country are always
brilliant in color. Perhaps it's the unexpectedness of their existence
in this arid landscape that makes them seem more colorful. I've seen
the same flowers in the same colors in landscapes with more moisture and
vegetation, but the colors are not as brilliant, I think. The abode
buildings of Santa Fe, Taos, Scottsdale, Carefree and Cave Creek are
wonderful.
