Lenten Roses by

Watercolour on 140 lb. Arches cold press paper.
I thought this was an appropriate floral to post at this time of year, as we are in the season of Lent and Easter is fast approaching. It is a spring flower that, in some areas, is blooming fully and in others, is just poking through the soil.
This was painted using mainly the negative painting method, with very little positive painting other than the laying of the initial colours and the centres of the flowers.

About bevmorgan

Painting is such an integral part of my personality and my life. I find much joy and satisfaction in the process, and if the results are pleasing then I am also gratified, but I must admit it is the process that intrigues me and sparks my creative juices.
I paint primarily in watercolour but love to experiment with other media, especially in combination with my watercolour. I would be honoured if you were inclined to take the time to browse through my work.
