January Primroses by

Watercolour with acrylic inks 25×35cm Artist’s watercolours on 140lb cold pressed paper.

I took a photo of these primroses in the garden yesterday and was moved to paint them. They look so vulnerable in the cold but so beautiful against the dark Winter earth.

    Much prettier than the real thing! Such beautiful work.

  • Thank you Marsha…I live in hope that watercolour can improve on reality even when painting from a photo.
