The Chinese photenia is probably my favorite plant.  It grows as big as a small tree and has lovely, paintable leaves and in the spring wonderful blooms that looks sort of like a hydrangea.

Photenia leaves turn brilliant red in the fall.

This painting is a watercolor.   The background is romantic, I think, using golds, blues, and rose colors.

This is sort-of based on a tulip fading and losing its leaves.  It is ink and watercolor.

This painting used ink, watercolor, and stamped designs for texture.

I used several different media in this painting, including markers, watercolor, ink, and a stamped design on the cloth.

I used the watercolor first, and then the Ink, but I guess it could have been done the other way.  There is often no “right” way to do a painting!  This is also a time when I used a stamp for texture (upper right corner).

used sort of an abstract design for this watercolor/ink study.

The challenge here is the flower consisting of hundreds of tiny flowers!

I  used a technique called negative painting in this watercolor

of leaves against a background of more and more leaves.
