Calla Cosmos



I am completely in love with Calla Lilies. I've been painting them for many years and consider them to be my "signature" painting. They're almost like my best friend. Whenever I see one my spirit jumps for joy! My main goal is to try and paint them with variations, so that I can continue to hone new skills. This particular painting was the first in a series where I became fascinated with using acrylic inks, and imbedding numerous materials into those background inks to create amazing patterns. The trick is, you just have to walk away from the painting for several hours while your background dries. Voila!



This watercolor with ink background is on 15 x 22 Fabriano 140# paper
