Arise

9.5×12.5 pastel enhanced watercolor on heavy watercolor paper (Original sheet was 19.5×21.5, so I quartered it). Available.

Talk about fresh? I just finished this one and figured that you are probably sick to death of the puppies (seeing as you can’t really buy them or anything), so I promise – no more puppies!!

Originally I was going to do this in watercolor but then realized that it would probably work better as a pastel.. so.. I did both! Have three more to do on the same size paper but they aren’t even laid out yet!!

An Easter lily is any one of a number of flowers, generally grown and sold as a pot plant or as a cut flower for the Easter festival.

The plants include
Lilium longiflorum, a scented lily, which is most commonly sold by the name Easter lily in North America and other parts of the world. This is the most commercially important of the plants called by this name.

Zantedeschia aethiopica, an Arum lily, which became a symbol of the Irish republicanism after the Easter Rising of 1916. This flower is also called the Calla lily in North America.

Other plants may sometimes be called by this name. They include
Madonna lily, or Lilium candidum, though it is usually June flowering
Daffodils
Zephyranthes atamasco (information from Wikipedia)
