Solitaire

Medium:  Transparent Watercolour and Acrylic
Image Size: 41/2" x 61/8"
Limited Edition Prints Available

Solitaire was a real challenge to paint.  I wanted to capture the delicacy of the petals in contrast to the tougher leaves.  By depicting the translucency of the petals with backlighting, I was able to capture the effect I wanted.

This is one of a matched pair of paintings.  The second of the pair is called "Full House" and you can see it HERE.
