Spring Flowers on the Dining Table



After I had finished a tightly rendered commercial art project,
I found relief by drawing loosely with quill pen, India ink & watercolor. 
They are flowers from a friend, a gift.

The photo process turned the yellows of the daffodils to green. 
Either I need a new camera or a new photo program...
This color distortion happens too often.
Any advice?

It's the lightness of these flowers, & the vivid colors, 
that were most important to me, as they sat, 
Princesses of the dining room table, 
backlit by southern spring time sun.

  3. Such a pretty bouquet. I love fresh flowers in the house, but my cat likes to eat them! There are only a few places I can place them where she can't get to them. That's OK--I can always come here and enjoy your sketch!
