Hosta 3 Carnavale
“Hosta 3 Carnavale”is part of the Series “Hosta”
This is the third in the series of Hosta paintings….I have a large number of different species of Hosta in my gardens, and I plan to do a set of paintings in different styles, hopefully before the hot weather hits in July..
June is wonderful in the garden…the weather is blissfully cool and I spend everyday as many hours as I can spare, grubbing about in the earth, planting, transplanting, and moving things about as the spirit moves me..
The Hydrangeas promise to be fabulous this summer…the hard winter did not kill the buds as I had feared, and I am looking forward to masses of lovely blooms next month… Janis

“On this June day the buds in my garden are almost as enchanting as the open flowers.
Things in bud bring, in the heat of a June noontide, the recollection of the loveliest days of the year….
Those days of May when all is suggested, nothing yet fulfilled.”...Francis King

Exuberant is a good word to desccribe this painting Janis. I would love to know how you achieve such depth, vibrancy and texture in your watercolour, it’s gorgeous.

Thank you Estelle…I just pour it on the paper and work out the shapes afterward…you have to be adventurous and just go for it…
