I call this painting "The Bells are Ringing" because these, of course, are Foxglove or Belladonna, and in addition to their name, greatly resemble bells.
This painting is 22"x15" and is painted on 140 lb. Fabriano Artistico cold-pressed watercolor paper. This painting is totally transparent watercolor and light areas were saved by the use of Pebeo liquid miskit. I drew the fine white lines by using the sharpened handle of a paintbrush which has been dipped in the miskit. Most of the paints were Holbein transparent watercolors.

Fabulous painting Barb!
Rhonda,
I was sorry too, but you can't argue with Mother Nature, as the commercial went! :) Actually, I couldn't have gotten out of my garage that Wednesday a.m. - I was so relieved it was rescheduled.
I will look forward to October and the rescheduled meeting.
Nancy,
